Also, after over half a decade of nordic winter commuting. I discovered the nastiest cycling surface ever today.
yesterday morning - crazy hail storm, inches fell in 1/2 hour.
yesterday afternoon - Some light rain despite the cold.
Yesterday evening - temps drop heavily.
Last night - an inch of dry snow.
So this morning there was an inch thick layer of hail, frozen solid, and coated with clear frozen rain. All this dusted with dry snow.
Had a nasty fall going down the driveway. The kiddie trailer went over, and I had to jam my legs into the fence to prevent it slidding further. Lots of drama, no damage.
Answers the question of wether or not to stud the fat tyres though.
