Winter bike / Snow bike thread

Yesterday, Birmingham.
Rode home from work on the canals, was like playing QWOP on bikes but without actually falling off, was with a mate on a Kona Coiler with ridiculously wide tyres, I had 35mm Schwalbe Land Cruisers and got up a few ramps/bridges that he didn't.
I can't recommend the tyres enough, they have a centre line for riding on tarmac but plenty of grip. Perfect happy medium for me anyway, might tour on them next year.

Sorry about phone picture

are you using downtube shifters? can't quite make it out - if not, what are you using?
