I may have just bought my dream bike, but it'll be a while before I allow myself to ride it outside. The Michigan roads are more dreadful than usual with all of the snow and freezing, and now flooding is revealing big chunks of missing roadway.

I got a steal of a deal on steel, a Velo Orange Campeur. I've been pouring over Crazy Guy on a Bike journals and reading touring books. I'm ready to take off and ride around the country when I retire, but in the meantime it'll serve as my commuter.
