Hello all,
I was wondering what your opinions are on commuting in rainy/snowy conditions. With winter on its way, I'd like to stay safe while commuting and trying to get some form of workout in between. My route is short, 8km, but it's got hills and sharp turns which do pose issues at speed.
Currently, I have 23cm Specialized Axis wheels with the Sport tires that Specialized puts on everything. So question is:
"What is essential to a rainy commute; wider, bigger tires, or all-weather tread?"
Your thoughts and experiences would be very much appreciated.
