When the first diamond frame bicycles became popular in the 1890s they were often called "wheels" - the national cycling association was called the "League of American Wheelmen." We have moved from "wheels" to "bikes," but the bicycles have remained remarkably the same over more than 100 years - elegant in their efficiency and simplicity. And many of the issues that we think are new? They were around then too.

Snowy Commute on March 25
This is just before I entered the (car) garage with this bike that I rode due to the snowy weather - I didn't downshift to the "small" ring in front which is completely covered in snow-ish something.
There was something not right with the smaller cogs in back, so I only used the large three and switched back and forth between the middle and large rings in front more than I usually would. So here the small rings are all covered in snow.
Late in the year for this sort of thing.
