yeah it snow here on tuesday and snowed again last night i tryd to ride it but my Tyre kept slipping behind me and it hurt my face and now im dying to get outside and i cant cuz its snow and my face hurtz lol
I needed to read these posts because today was the first time I rode in the icy snowy stuff... Felt like a goof ball until I got used to it so thank you all for inspiring me to go back out there. On the last tumble I took, my foot got caught on the pins and I landed on my wrist pretty bad.. Oh well, it aint broke, so out for more fun on my 24...
My commute (5 miles each way, 3 x's a week on 26" Nimbus) takes me through a park covered in snow/ice in addition to the usual icy bike paths and streets (I live in Minneapolis) and I've found that the stock tire on my Nimbus Muni works great. I regularly ride across long sheets of ice and feel just find without studs as long as I don't turn (I tried that once and ended on my rear). Fresh powder is definitely my favorite...freemounting is still easy and the powder just adds a little friction to the ride. Packed snow with frozen footprints, etc still presents a challenge for me. Harder to mount and definitely harder to stay on!
