>>2058907

>>2060008
i'm >>2058907
front is cyclami x7 set to the dimmest mode at (allegedly) 250lm
rear is moon cerberus ru on the dimmest setting also, but it has a "variable lumen system" and i don't remember what setting i used, lowest i think? it tops out at 150lm and goes as low as 5lm

Those amber side lights are neat. I've been looking for something like that.

Can't see shit, I just keep my mitts on and shoot from the hip. Was -18C with the wind chill. Fresh snow on top of packed snow on top of ice for 22 km, it took 2 hours.

Same bike 8 years ago... only things that have changed are chain, derailleur, tires, bar tape, cables and bearings.

>>2064508
so, it's not the same bike?

>>2064509
And I am not the same man.

>>2064509
>same frame
>same forks
>same wheelset
>same crankset
>same brakes
>same shifters
>same bars
>same seat post
>same saddle
At what point do you think the ship of Theseus metaphor becomes relevant? If I go for a bike ride, am I not riding the same bike when I get back than when I headed out? If I clean the dirt off the bike and lube the chain, is it a different bike?

>>2064515
panta rhei. it is not the same bike before and after the ride.
you are not the same man before and after the ride.

>>2064523
Making this >>2064509 post a tautology, so not meaningful.

Ban yourself

>>2064504
what size tyre is that 40c?

>>2065515
35. Would go thinner if I found another studded option, to cut through to the road better.

>>2065516
thought you needed to stay above the snow or does that change with the snow footage

>>2065520
Nah you wanna cut through that shit, especially your front wheel or you just end up sliding out of control. A solid wall of snow either side of your wheel gives you something to push into to keep you upright (especially wet snow) and you can fishtail your way around without actually sliding out.

>>2065651
hello! current trip or old photo?

how much weight is your luggage friend

>>2065782
I bet he carries snow just in case.

>>2065766
I've seen coyotes on the Atlanta beltline, and not even after dark, either. just in places where nobody else was around except him and me

>>2065819
I've been surrounded by them twice. Once while camping and another time while cycling, at 3am. I have audio recording of the second encounter.

I'm not scared of them by any means, but do carry spray just in case. They have attacked several people here the past couple of decades. That thing sticking up beside my stem here >>2065712 is a can of coyote spray. The red tab is visible here: >>2064506

>>2065815
>>2065712
how many lumens friend

>>2065934
I had to check online, this light is ancient. It states 1800 but I doubt it's accurate. Plenty bright though, and the pack is two 18650s. I have gone 5 rides without it dropping more than one indicator bar and have never had it die on me. Great light, honestly. I did de-solder the cable and cut it down though, it was way too long.

It's an Evolva, probably some defunct Chinese nothing brand.

Now that winter is almost over in the northern hemisphere, perhaps the Australians will sustain this thread throughout their winter

>>2067400
but it's a night ride thread, not winter one.

Science fact of the day: the nights are longer in winter

>cycling through frozen hell in dead of winter
>can't wait for spring
>spring arrives
>immediately miss the struggle
>have it too easy during summer and fall, get soft and lazy
>dreading the arrival of winter
>winter arrives
>this is my shit
>cycling through frozen hell in dead of winter
>can't wait for spring

>>2070259
who is that
>>2069204
you're more likely to be out in the sun in the winters than in summers when you need the cool cover of the night

>>2073354
You're actually more likely to be out at odd hours in the winter because your decreased serotonin levels are going haywire so you're putting in as many garbage miles as physically possible hoping to fight off the crippling depression

>>2073397
but you did the depression fighting ride during the sun hours and when it's colder in the evenings you're in your warm cocoon

wow guys i always seem to end up riding around at 3am listening to something like this no matter what time of year it is https://youtu.be/T7Yaty64sm8?si=FZ8r162seDrLSCJp

>every outing begins and ends with asking for permission
This is the kind of shit that makes me need to go for a bike ride.

>>2073429
Based at an uncontrolled airport, don't have to talk to a soul.

>>2073434
>so desperate for attention that you post planes in a bicycle thread
I dunno buddy, you seem to crave talking.

>>2073435
Cope harder

>>2073439
Posting aircraft in a bicycle thread feels like copium, my dude. Did you get made fun of in the GA thread or something?

>>2073441
He's upset because he has no jet time

>>2073441
Where does it say in OP's post that it's just for bikes faggot?

>>2073447
I hear you have no jet time and that's why you're in a bicycle thread. Do you need some moral support while you get out of this rut?

>>2073458
How does a dude own a plane and still be this much of a loser?

>>2073458
Says the gay retard posting half a dozen pictures of his entry level CX bike. Look at me guys, I ride in the snow, I'm not gay I swear!!1!;.
