What's happening in the David Mary Custom shop?

I have been riding year round with the same style of tires as in my pic. For more than a decade.

like how race car drivers from finland can drive in wet and ice and snow like it's dry pavement.

same thing years of practice and skill.....

but can ya ride eyes closed, no hands on the ice and snow and while chewing gum....I'm betting ya can.......

Pride comes before a “fall.”

I thought summer came before the fall ….

Remind me not to share facts with you.

If I can I will never know because I definitely won't try. Once the roads have snow, it's two hands at all times if I'm moving any faster than (an estimated) 5 mph.

I thought summer came before the fall ….

Thank you.

I’m just razzin’ ya David. I understand the conditions well and I have confidence in your blizzard peddlin’ skills.

 

[David Mary]

I know. I think you are very funny. You're so funny, in fact, you could chill the whiskers off a walrus.

Have you ever seen a fat tire bike, like this one? Supposedly they are a dream in the snow. They are pretty popular around here.

I've had my eye on one for a while but keep spending all my cash on knives

I’m in MI and I see a ton of the “Fat Tire” bikes here, great for snow and sand!

I think you meant “cool.” It makes more sense.

Yeah, they have been a fad here too across our lake.....but,
They are Heavy, slow, and expensive.

 

[David Mary]

Fat bikes are neat, but will quadruple the energy expenditure. Road tires roll fast on pavement, cut through snow, and slip on ice. But everything slips on ice, which is why I don't ride on it.

Exactly.

 

[Sharp & Fiery]

Also, those new multi-scale blanks are looking rad!

 

[Crag the Brewer]

Exactly.

Back when I noticed things..... I saw hipsters riding them, and fixed gears

 

[David Mary]

Thanks Coleman, I appreciate the kind words. That marbled carbon fiber is worth its weight in gouda.

Any interest in electric assist? Gotta fork out the cash, but so much fun for terrain with inclines.

 

[David Mary]

I just use my legs for that. Cheaper, and better for me.

LOL that cracked me up Coleman. “Blizzard peddling skills”

After doing some reading, and with the discontinuation of frogwood, I have decided to start offering dymalux scales.

Looks like good stuff! They have some really nice color combinations.
