Ho ho ho! Snow & ice didn't stop me from commuting to work. The xtracycle with Schwalbe winter marathon studded tires worked great. Tulsa lacks in snow plowing, I saw at least 50 motor vehicles abandoned along the way, but ZERO abandoned bicycles.
I arrived at Sta.5 safe and sound, the ride didn't take any longer than normal, however I must admit it was a more intense work out, with allot more concentration necessary. I am pumped that this winter riding can be done.
What size tires? I couldn't get studs to fit under my fenders on the xtra, so they went on my Gazelle, which is extremely sweet but with finite carrying capacity.
