"What does one do when it's -7 degrees outside,"

I disassembled the Bullitt: it's time to update the rear triangle;
I did the front triangle last year. It's also time to replace the lower
portion of the Sherman......
Looks like it will be awhile before I ride anyway, what with this weather.

LOL. So far I have completely rebuilt my bike. Serviced the fork, sent the rear shock in for service/updates, serviced the pivots, clean and repaired the drive train, and serviced my hubs. Then I did the same for everyones else's bike. Now with all that done..... Ahhh the waiting game.....

I just ride my bike inside when it's cold and wet. It's pretty sweet to carve around the coffee table and boost thorough the kitchen...or maybe I'm just watching too much Earthed for my own good. :p

When it's -7, you drink so much rum that when you ride (if you can), it feels mildly tropical outside :)

I bathe my bikes in the shower since I live in an apartment with no hose available...

btw -- it has never been -7* here.
True - apparently we ride when it's - 7*. Good thing it was just that cold in Rochester. :think:
