-6C/21F on the way home and even more snow. I rode home late so the traffic wasn't bad. I could take a lane and so it was much faster than the ride in this morning. Two side streets didn't really get plowed and the well driven parts were rutted and annoying.

The studded tires were useful in two places. The pedestrian overpass was a thin layer of snow over ice. I stalled and put a foot down and I started to slowly slip down. I finally managed to push through and get going. Also one sidewalk was also the same, though not an incline.

It's funny but today was the first day I would have like foot retention as I often was going slowly in snow and would stop pedaling and then it was a pain getting the pedals in position again. On the other hand I don't know if I would have been confident enough to be clipped in and fall, plus my boot are huge and not clipless. Probably something like powergrips... I think I have some lying around in a box somewhere.
