The last two days have seen the first real snowfall here in Eastern PA
since I moved close enough to the office to commute on my bike all the
time.
Anticipating this, I got some studded tires from Sheldon for my mountain
bike/commuter. Put them to the test yesterday and today.
I must say I am impressed. They don't plow very well here, and the roads
quickly get covered with an icy mess. Today, the melt from the midday
managed to freeze up to a nice layer of black ice by my evening commute.
I had no trouble, even on the hills.
Yesterday, after I got home, I had to go out in the car. I was slipping
more in it than on the bike.
