...and bugs...and dust

I also have Tifoi Fototec, in Light Night. I believe it's the highest light transmission lens so, best for low light conditions such as you describe. They get plenty dark enough as well but are not polarized. Definitely less than $300.

I was thinking the same. Use your money for some other means of deriving enjoyment on your bike. As it is, you've got a charming older bike that, as JayKosta says, can be upgraded at the contact points. Have fun.

Very unfortunate although inevitable. The rise to popularity of this event is staggering. I'm not sure what void it is filling but it sure seems to have widespread growth across a broad demographic.

Well, for one, we wouldn't have this entertaining thread. ;):)

Not so much enjoying as dealing with it here in the city. :) We got around half of what you got and understand you're getting another foot! :eek:

+12C a couple of weeks ago -12C now, expecting a low of -20C tonight; streets are white from (over)salting +10C expected later this week Typical Toronto winter, post global warming :eek:

Great title for a show. :)

I'm trying to square this comment with your earlier comment regarding cars and the affordability of bikes. Care to elaborate? And, to keep the thread moving along parallel lines, responding to trailrunner's earlier post: what's up with "roadie 'tude"? Where does it come from and what warrants...

Not so flattering perspective on cyclists when the (peed in) shoe is on the other foot. ;)

I'm sure you know but, you can use an app like maymyride or strava to record the ride via gps. You don't have to look at anything during the ride, just set it at the start and finish it at the end. :)

To be clear, it was friends of mine (not me). ;) I think they're regular riders but have turned to the more adventuresome pursuit of architectural practice. :D

Some inspiration for you: http://backintheworld.com/

Yes. I did. Haven't checked in, in a while but: very happy. With everything really: wheels, as per Bustedknuckle and Giuseppe Magnetico's advice and, getting into cycling, in general. :)
