And today is the day that I'm switching tires out on the commuter - I have a mtb - and for now it's going back to a knobby tire for this week and will probably install the studded tires next week ... afterall - Tiz the Season!
A lot of toil and trial, no doubt. But over the course of many months it adds up to an adventure of sorts, I think. Particularly doing it year-round or something close to it. It takes planning, determination, guts, highly specialized equipment and a bit of crazed obsession, mixed with more than just a small dose of the unexpected.
