It’s time for another installment of the Bike Carson Photos of the Week. This week we have a mixed collection of photos, ranging from the beauty of winter to the hope of the coming summer.

Amy Snowshoeing the Baldy Green Trail by Jeff Potter

First up is a photo of Amy snowshoeing the Baldy Green Trail on January 23rd. This picture was taken just a week after we rode mountain bikes on this trail. We haven’t been getting much precipitation from the recent storms, so we should be riding this trail again real soon!

Winter Legs by Brent Ruybalid

Here’s a photo from Brent, a pretty good image of how many have been getting their winter miles in. Cycling videos, tunes, wind machine, and a beer fridge nearly in reach.

The Flume Trail by Jon Bakkedahl

Here’s a photo of a Flume Trail ride from Jon Bakkedahl. It looks pretty hazy, so there must have been some fires raging that day. The Sand Harbor peninsula can be seen jutting out below. Man, I can’t wait to get back up there!

1946 Bike Trip in Maine by Charlie Moser

These next two photos are a couple that my grandparents took back in 1946 while out on a bike ride in Maine. I actually got to see these two bikes before they sold them a few years ago. I bet they made some lucky collector pretty happy. Last summer they told me stories of the all day trips they liked to do in the Boston area, that included a return trip home on the train.

Well, Christmas is finally over, and I hope you are all recovering nicely. I have one more party to go to, but then hope to return my gastrointestinal system back to its regularly scheduled programming.

It’s been a rough few weeks for cycling in Carson City! I think I’ve only been out on non-studded tires three times in the last three weeks. It’s unbelievable how long this ice and snow is lingering, even in the full sun. Here are a few photos from the Bike Carson Flickr Pool that really convey the wintry conditions.

First Storm by Dan Turner

The first photo is of Dan Turners Pugsley from Surly Bicycles. The Pugsley frame and fork is designed for the allowance of 4″ tires on 26″ rims! The overall diameter of these big wheels is right around 29″. As you can imagine, this bike will take you far beyond where regular bikes are stopped dead in their tracks.

Riding the Pugsley in the Snow by Dan Turner

Here’s another photo from Dan. Here we see the Pugsley dicing it up in traffic.

Homemade Ice Tires by Jesse Richardson

Jesse has been working on building a set of homemade ice tires. They are still in the laboratory, but should be ready for beta release by the next big storm.  Here’s a photo of the progress so far.
