End of season
=============

We have snow  here (in Ostrava, Czechia). Actually a  lot of snow after
all  these snow-less  winters! I  don't  remember when  there was  snow
before Christmas. Maybe around 2006?

This probably  means the  end of  cycling "season".  It was  actually a
continuous affair from  March 2021. There was a  break during Christmas
2021 but it was  due other factors. But now it  seems that commuting on
the bike is not feasible for some time.

So I can do  some sort of summary: it was over 3600  km in 2022. I rode
several  bikes  (mostly  the  ones  with  small  wheels:  Moultons  and
Bromptons).In 2021 it was "just over" 1000 km but in 2020 and earlier I
had about 100-300 km per year at all...

I have somewhat expanded my  "collection" of bicycles by adding several
piles of  rust (it  will need  a lot  of effort  to make  bicycles from
them!) and also added some more  recent machines (none of them has been
new).

My "stealth black"  Brompton it my most  used machine - I  tried not to
use it  for commuting  but had to  use it when  other machines  were in
repairs.  I also  use it  for longer  mixed mode  trips (because  is is
foldable). The  second most  used machine is  my Moulton  Standard from
1965 (at least it was marketed to me  to be this model - I suspect that
it's  ~1969 Moulton  Major). This  machine required  a lot  of repairs,
unfortunately (and it is out of service now).

There were several  interesting tours in 2022. I  have been considering
to write something about them in a manner similar to guofu's posts [1].

I hope that I will able to reach 4000 in 2023!
