[QUOTE=ShartRate;16273780 I feel like I'm pedaling through mud. But, as I said earlier, I guess it's okay, I needed the exercise.[/QUOTE]

I would almost rather carry 90lbs., on my Xtracycle, than ride with the studded tires. They are a godsend on icy roads though.
I agree with the pedaling through mud thing, nice accurate description, of what it feels like riding with studded tires.
