Bike Hugger 

It’s that time of year when the sun sets fast and you may catch a bike shadow in the trees like this.

Then the rains come. I think I’ve written about riding in the rain as much as Tom Robbins describes it in his books.

“It was autumn, the springtime of death. Rain spattered the rotting leaves, and a wild wind wailed.”

I was riding the Parlee CX H in Lincoln Park when I took the photo. For this Fall, I’ve got the Modal in fixed mode with race blades and a Hugga Buddy Flap, of course.
