I quickly rerouted to the longer route on separated bike trails.
Winter tires on a bike a amazing!
Yes, this is an issue. There are times when I trust my control better than that of the cars around me. We're lucky to have so many bike trails around here, and that many of them are plowed well and efficiently.
