Isn't biking off-road around where you live kind of dangerous too? 8^)

Your bike looks very good as a whole, by the way, and I  think it is
much lighter than mine.
Unfortunately, local driving habits does not permit much cycling here
and my bike
has probably forgotten everything already about its owner.

I’ve never seen a fox in these parts.  I’ve seen a couple of bobcats.  I may 
have seen a couple of coyotes by the road at night.  I personally have never 
seen a mountain lion, but sightings are becoming quite a bit more common, 
especially with all of the security cameras that people are getting.

We USED to have wild turkeys in our yard.  The occasional fox has turned
into three foxes, running around, and, no more turkeys.  Also, fewer
rabbits and squirrels.  I haven't seen a possum or groundhog in a couple of
years either, as I think of it, and the chipmunks seem to be confined to
our fenced-in pool patio, whereas previously they were digging at the
foundation at the front of the house.

Yes, much more comfortable.  When I built the bike, I put on a set of inline 
(cyclocross) brake levers on the top bar and since I was almost never in the

Cities are generally worse than rural or suburban areas.  It seems as if Asians 
have a different relationship with driving regulations than do Americans.

Like the Turkeys. Haven't seen any around here for years. Some people 
used to keep them long ago. The commercial ones are all small whites.


More like a MB now. I agree, upright is much better for old toppies. 
Your next project could be to fit one of those aux. electric motors. 
Maybe Elon Musk will sponsor you?
