Snow Tires Off!

By mid-March, it's safe to assume that snow and ice is done for the season, or at least done enough to warrant taking the studded tires off the main commuter.

In actuality, I don't really need studs on the main commuter. When it's really snow and icy, I just ride the slush mobile, with its aggressive studs and knobby tires. Slower, sure, but more stable and better suited to slop. I thought I'd be able to ride the main commuter on icy but snow-free days, but they didn't really exist. There was always snow on the sidewalk and side streets. I only rode it once all winter.

I won't bother changing tires next winter. I always leave the studded tires on the slush mobile, so whenever it snows, I'll just switch bikes.
