The problem with the all weather commuter bike also being the weekend adventure bike is that sometimes wires get crossed and a work day starts to feel like it should be a weekend adventure day instead. My bike is just begging for me to call it a day and get outside!

I’m always happier on my bike that just about anywhere else
The other problem is that sometimes weekend adventure mud lingers into the work week. Your fenders look like they’re mostly getting the job done, but I see a bit of mud left on! I’m so bad at taking the time and energy to clean my bike after I get home from the trails. Usually that means that Monday morning needs a quick hose-and-brush down, but sometimes there’s not enough time and we arrive with a story.
It wasn’t so hard to work a Monday afternoon back in February when it was 31 and slushy outside, but 55 and sunny on a late March, early April Monday afternoon is very, very tempting!
Lol, that’s rough.
I have a total of 3 bikes. Cross check for my commuter, a Salsa Warbird as my weekend/adventure bike, and a no-name cobbled together singlespeed beater for when I know I’m going to leave it locked outside for a while.
I do feel bad about my Surly, poor thing hasn’t been on dirt in at least a couple of years. Pretty much only does my 10mile round trip urban commute.
This is a good reason to make your commute home a random adventure
It looks like a fun ride!
Beautiful! Love the straggler! What is the front rack you are using? I’m struggling to find one that fits my bike.
Hot damn that’s one of the best looking stragglers I’ve seen in a while!
I’m happy for you… but how do manage single speed on all terrain ? 😓
I aspire to have a bike setup like this looks rad.
