First day riding on studded snow tires (Marathon Winter+). Not quite a revelation in my revolutions -- I fishtailed a little bit -- but I made it over the slushy overpass bridge without having to walk! Tonight I'll take a chance on the Fitchburg Cutoff path.

For reasons, I have to share the 3 years old video "Why Canadians Can't Bike in the Winter (but Finnish people can)" by @notjustbikes with a lot of (of course properly credited) content by @pekkatahkola (back then referred to being on TwiX):

Heute für eine kleinere #Radtour mit dem #BromptonElectricGLine #rausgeschafft. Am Ende waren's 12.4km und je nach Wetter-Äpp -4℃ bis 0℃. Auf manchen Feldwegen lag auch noch festgefahrener, teils eisiger Schnee und ich war wieder froh um die #Spikereifen.

After moving back to a farming community, I am delighted to return to winter gravel riding. Today I tried out a new pair of Kahva 29'er studded tires from 45 North. On icy roads, they stick better than most motor vehicles.
