Main streets around here are "dry", secondaries are "frosty" with patches of black ice, and the sides, alleys and MUPs are rutty frozen messes.
So you can see my dilemma regarding swapping out wheelsets.
Nope, I'll just be a slow, buzzing (those studs make a lot of noise!) crazy guy on a bike until the spring thaw.
