Only a couple of weeks left in winter, but I recently picked up a mountain bike and am really looking forward to spring and beyond.
With that said, I'm itching to get a jumpstart on the season and was looking at studded tires. I'm in maine, not much snow up here on the lakes, mostly ice with a few fairly large drifts. How does the bike handle with studded tires? bigger the tire the better?
I'd prefer to stay away from the road, people up here drive crazy. (I'm a land surveyor and often do work near the roads, that's enough near the road for me, I'd rather not have to bike there too )
