Schools are closed for Midwinter Recess and that means this blog is too. However, since 2024 is The Year Of Paring Down, I am taking advantage of the downtime to inventory and assess my velocipedal holdings as they currently stand. So between Monday and Friday I will make a thorough accounting of all my bicycles, not including the ones belonging to other members of my immediate family, or parts and frames stuffed deep in a storage unit, which is to say it won’t be very thorough at all. Nevertheless, it will be a more or less complete picture of all fully-assembled bicycles currently owned, operated, and regularly ridden by me. This will allow me to determine whether or not I need to continue divesting or acquiring as the case may be, and is entirely for my own edification. So while you’re welcome to read and comment don’t expect to be entertained, though honestly you shouldn’t be expecting that anyway.
See you back here Monday, February 26th.
I Love You,

Milwaukee
Use: Road rides, mixed-terrain rides
Clothes: Bikey
Miscellaneous notes: If I could only have one road bike, this would be it; it’s a pure road bike, yet thanks to the medium reach brakes it fits fatter tires and/or fenders for added versatility. Fortunately, I can have more than one road bike, which means I can keep this in what I’ll call “gravel mode” (bites tongue), with dual-sided pedals and wide-ish, treaded tires, which is how I’ve been riding it lately. Just as the Jones empowered me to cut my other mountain bikes loose, the Milwaukee is why I knew I could let the Litespeed go, since it’s every bit the road bike the Litespeed is, but with more tire clearance that in no way comes at the expense of “performance” (bites tongue).
