I have been riding on unsalted neighborhood streets this week. The ride is
bumpy but otherwise fine. I would not want to ride 50 miles that way, but for
commuting and errands it is OK. The ice is actually easier to deal with than a
few inches of unplowed snow, which can really slow you down.
Also, the SW Path, which is plowed but not salted (I believe) is a great ride,
no problems at all.
IMHO.

I was very interested in your response, Steve. Here is the issue: "If ... you
have the right equipment, the right clothes, and you've learned the appropriate
skills," can bicyclists travel safely in Wisconsin winters without reliance on
road salt?
What you think?

I'm sure many on this list will agree with me:
I don't think winter biking is a big deal. If you've been doing it for
any length of time, you have the right equipment, the right clothes, and you've
learned the appropriate skills. Then you just ride...
