There is no denying it: Fall is coming, even here in New Jersey. The leaves are turning yellow, some of them are already on the ground. Temperatures are rapidly falling into the low 70′s (or even 60′s!!!) and more and more thunderstorms are rolling in everyday.
So the long days of riding in short sleeves and short bibs are also coming to an end. The obsession with getting the sharpest tan-line has changed into a desperate quest for maintaining just a slight color difference between the upper and lower part of the arm/leg.
The road bike get fewer and fewer looks and might event start to collect a bit of dust during the dark months coming ahead. But is it the end of cycling? Of course not! There is doubt that the roadbike will stay inside for the winter.
However, it is time to locate the old mountainbike that has lived at miserable life in the basement for the last years. The mountainbike that has so long lived a sorrowful life without gears, without suspension fork and with skinny one inch tires. It is time to convert the old commuter back into a full fledged montainbike once again. In short it is time to give the old Kona Kula a spin around the circus once more.
This is how it looked a few years ago. I hope I can restore it to its glory!
