Faculties are closed for Midwinter Recess and meaning this weblog is just too. Nonetheless, since 2024 is The 12 months Of Paring Down, I’m making the most of the downtime to stock and assess my velocipedal holdings as they at present stand. So between Monday and Friday I’ll make an intensive accounting of all my bicycles, not together with those belonging to different members of my quick household, or components and frames stuffed deep in a storage unit, which is to say it received’t be very thorough in any respect. However, it is going to be a kind of full image of all fully-assembled bicycles at present owned, operated, and repeatedly ridden by me. It will permit me to find out whether or not or not I have to proceed divesting or buying because the case could also be, and is fully for my very own edification. So when you’re welcome to learn and remark don’t anticipate to be entertained, although truthfully you shouldn’t expect that anyway.
See you again right here Monday, February twenty sixth.
I Love You,

Jones LWB
Use: “Mountain biking” (no matter meaning), path rides, mixed-terrain rides, snow rides…
Wadrobe: Common garments or bikey garments
Miscellaneous notes: No bike I’ve is as concurrently comfy and succesful because the Jones. If I needed to I may even add racks and fenders and make the Jones as sensible for around-town using because the Platypus–although once more, fortuitously I don’t must make that call and might have each. The Jones is the bike I select if I need to have the ability to experience on any sort of terrain with out limitation, and due to the upright place I don’t really feel like I have to dress up in particular garments with a view to experience it, which is why I take it on trip with me. (I’ve ridden the Jones in bike garments with clipless pedals, and I’ve ridden it in jorts with flat pedals and sandals, and each approaches go well with it equally nicely.) Whereas I used to have a number of “mountain bikes” (no matter meaning) I’ve come to appreciate the Jones is the one one I would like, since I can experience it on any sort of path, and but I don’t must be on a path with a view to take pleasure in it, as a result of it feels good as quickly as I roll it out the entrance door. It additionally makes good use of recent stuff like tubeless tires, disc brakes, and single-ring wide-range clutch drivetrains while remaining a basically easy bicycle due to the totally inflexible body.
