For the past two weeks, there has been ice and snow on sidewalks and streets all over the city. Last week, I managed to sneak in a couple of commutes on my bike, but encountered glacial patches even in the car lanes, let alone those designated for bikes. I'm starting to feel a bit sluggish, but I figure that, at my age, I have a greater chance of doing damage to myself as well as my bike if I slip and fall.
I've always resisted the idea of getting tires with metal studs because during most winters I've experienced here in NYC, they would have been useful for no more than a couple of days every year. However, this winter and last, we've had fairly extended periods of snow and ice. They are also the only two consecutive winters I can recall in which the Hudson River iced up along the Manhattan piers.
Hmm....Maybe I should ride what this guy's riding:
