Many times I have lost other riders on rides. They usually disappear up ahead
of me, never to be seen again.

No matter what the temperature is, and no matter what I'm wearing, I sweat.

I have in fact been leaning toward the Clem L (or a step-through version of
whatever else I might choose). After getting over the less-than-rational
"girl's bike" stigma, I came to appreciate it greatly on previous bikes and
would love to go back to that design!

My puzzlement with this definition is that it doesn't really define
anything as Rivvish--you can make a case for just about any bicycle out
there.
For me, the word "convivial" works to describe a Rivvish bicycle, in the
sense that Ivan Illich defines it in his book Tools For Conviviality. I've

If it's below freezing, I wear a Rapha "deep winter base layer". It's a
medium thickness 100% wool long sleeve top with thumb loops and a built-in
balaclava. With a helmet cover I stay warm without overheating. Above
freezing I'm fine with the helmet cover and a Smartwool headliner.
