I agree with the comment about 3-speed hubs freezing below 10F.  I have
been able to overcome that problem by keeping my "bat bike" indoors on
nights that I know will be very cold.  Once warm, the hub will operate as
long as you keep it busy.  Hopefully, it is warmer by the time I ride
home in the afternoon.

Also, Jon White adds two more advantages of the clunker :

	7. The upright riding position makes you more visible to motorists

	8. The upright riding position allows you to see better
