I don't know about you, but I ride my bike.
Nokian Hakkapeliitta W106 studded snow tires help.
And my 2006 Trek Portland is a bit of mutant. It's essentially a cyclocross front end spliced to a touring bike rear end.
So that advice you're getting about a cyclocross bike? Consider it.
Yep, strongly considering it.
The only problem is that there aren't many
used cyclocross bikes, and if there are, they're expensive.
But the way I understand it, you can't fit such thick tires on a racing bike, no? Or are there exceptions?
