Riding on ice is Not. Fun. At. All.
At least, the falling over part isn't, and those spiffy Kenda inverted
tread 1.9" tires that let me blast down the river trail like a fat,
bearded anime hero, well, they don't work on ice.
Last year i made some sheet metal screw studded tires, but... well, they
sucked, and they flatted-out a _lot_.
This year is going to be Different! I went to my LBS and shelled out
waaaay too much $$$ for those wacky Finnish Nokian Extreme 294 tires.

looking forward to running down those effete speed skaters on our
reflecting pond later this year... stupid sexy spandex unitards...
