rode my Bike Friday throughout the winter last year,
Bike A pocket Llama , with disc brakes ,
Rohloff and Schmidt dynohub (s)
Disc brakes Schwalbe marathon plus, tires .. getting ready to do it another year .. one thing I don't do.. is put a Brooks saddle
on a bike I leave outside in the rain, Often.
I understand Schwalbe makes Studded 406 tires.
does't ice up every year here , My Nokian Studded tires are still serviceable 20 years on.
... but they are on 26" not 20" wheels ..
Studded tires have provided safe road traction,
when the black ice on the sidewalks, made walking precarious.
previous winter I used my Brompton a lot.
Kool Stop continental brake shoes.. were a good substitution .
