I got one of those surly cornerbars (offbrand) and they're fucking great, would recommend to everyone. Easily the most comfy handlebars I've ever owned.

Also currently trying to piece together the perfect small size at most medium weight bicycle EDC pouch to chuck in my panniers so I can field repair my entire shit and also help other people.

Pretty sure I'll put some bar ends in there just to slap them into random bicycles so people don't core sample themselves. I am the velocipedal crusader, you will be saved from doctors having to extract a tubular 21mm cross section of yourself so they can figure out what the fuck you managed to lose because you didn't think to put 50 eurodollarcents of bar ends on your stuff.

I'm at a weird in-between time of year for my setups.

My everyday and favorite bike isn't great at braking when it's wet (steel rims, rod brakes), but this is the time of year when it's always wet. I have a backup that I usually ride instead, but I put my studded tires on already in case things became icy this week (it snowed last week).

So now I don't want to ride either of my bikes, but I really want to ride a bike. It's times like these that I'm tempted to go by the bicycle junkyard and build a new bike and somehow end up with two extras.

It really just needs to snow.
