I like this story. Shows that cyclists aren't as incapable as many drivers believe. FWIW, I have had a set of Nokians on my winter bike for the last 4 years. They look like I should get at least a couple more winters. My winters are typically just under 1000 miles on studded tires, as we usually get a few breaks where I can go back to my summer bikes.
