We stocked up on Copenhagen-y bike parts; he got a set of magnetic lights and I got a cool front basket and skirt guard. Best Christmas ever!

Although if your seat post is quick release, you could always just QR it and take it with you (you have to deal with the seat post grease, then). No bike toys for BC this Xmas. :( All I got was a head cold from one of my granddaughters.

I received a new Brooks saddle for my birthday, which is in December. The saddle was expensive enough that it counts for Christmas too. I was advised by my LBS to attach it until summer or endure a long, uncomfortable break in period. I too dread locking up my bike yet lock it up we must.

Maybe from too much torque. Maybe because it was a cheap chain. Nonetheless, it snapped. Our Hanukkah present to each other was both a new chain and new derailieur. Looking forward to a few more rides before years' end. OK, it wasn’t so special, but while out riding my tandem with my wife, the chain snapped Maybe from the cold. Maybe from too much torque.
