Long story from before I moved to a home office: we had slushy snow falling on frozen & untreated roads, I was happily biking home from work on the shoulder of a county road without a clue how bad the roads were. After 6-8 miles, I was coming up to a red light and put a foot down, my boot slipped out, and I barely stayed upright. Then I noticed cars where locking up, spinning, and sliding on the road. I quickly rerouted to the longer route on separated bike trails.
Winter tires on a bike a amazing!
