Hey, look at this, when I don't wash my truck, the dirt matches the lettering on my MTB!! Custom truck and bike combo!
Neato!I decided to ride this bike to work today because it's got the fattest tires and once I left a large amount of air out of the tires, I actually had quite good traction on the freshly fallen snow. Just a fair bit more work grunting around town with flat tires. Oh well. Good work out.
On that subject, if anyone has a Pugsley or has ridden a Pugsly, would you be so kind as to leave a comment on your thoughts? I am thinking that it might be a great little (not really) bike for winter commuting. Any input would be most appreciated.
Cheers,
Jerome

I don't own a Pugs, but several friends do, and I'm wanting one after riding theirs. It's a tradeoff: the super-fat tires are great on snow, but they're not studded, so they can slip on ice.
In my opinion, studded tires are better and safer for commuting. A Pugsley with Endomorph tires is better used a trail bike. I know some of my Pugs-owning friends have stated the same preference.
Thanks for the feed back Tim. I never really thought of the Pug in regards to it's ability on the ice. I really don't have to contend with deep snow very often, but most of the winter, there is at least some ice under the studs on my cummute.
I hope you get one soon and I'm sure you'll post about if you do.
Thanks again for the input.
Cheers.
