I'm getting too old to risk going down on ice--injuries take too long to heal. Also we don't have long enough periods of ice to develop second-nature unconscious skills here. I did okay a few days ago on my MTB (no studs) in some bits of ice (caught myself when the front started to slide, got through some climbing with rear-tire slippage under power), but I felt I didn't want to do much of this, particularly because I like riding longer routes, where I finish up exhausted, and reaction-reflexes are gone.

I've been thinking about trying a tadpole trike. Does anyone do this? Studded tires for trikes? Recommendations are most welcome.
