Troy, I've been riding through the winters in Madison for over a decade. Throughout the years I've done it on a road bike, mountain bike, fixed gear, you name it (haven't tried a trike, recumbent, or tandem).
For the past 2 winters I have put studded tires on my fixed gear (but I would put them on ANY winter commuter I ended up riding) and there is no going back. Studded tires are a bit of an investment ($150+ for a decent set), but the return in performance more than makes up for the cost. It is like having the road back during the icy/snowy wintry months. I'm going to stick them on this weekend and will take them off sometime in March or April. A decent set of studded tires should last several seasons. That's my 2 cents. -India ----- Original Message ----- From: Troy Thiel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thursday, December 4, 2008 10:17 am Subject: [Bikies] Knobbies or Slick/Knobbie combo?
