actually I dont like winter-but perhaps these mothas(schwalbe ice spiker) can make it more fun!

just had a asphalt ride,to make sure the spikes are all in.

funny noise when driving!

if the weather forecast holds,winter is here in a week,looking forward!

I managed to crash a car in Norway which was fitted with snow tyres, four of them too. Ride carefully my friend. ;)
 
They work pretty well to improve traction on icey stages, be careful with cornering though. In deep snow your better of with a wider and softer tyre,
good luck :D
 
i made some years ago when we had good snow last time (fylde coast doesn't really do snow)
had some old knobblys, a big bag of self tapping screw, a scrap pair of tioga city slickers (as a barrier between screw heads and inner tube) and set off in the ice, i was amazed how successful it was :)
 
I bought a set of those in the summer in preparation for the winter commute. I hope we get a good load of snow in Sussex this year :D
 
I rode through a very light snow shower in the lakes this weekend and I'm forecasting it for the latter part of the week. You can all blame me if it doesn't arrive.
