It simply doesn't get icy here often enough to justify a whole bike with studded tires, wouldn't get much use. We get maybe one or two storms /days a year that produce black or pervasive ice in enough quantity to even question riding. That was one day, tonight seems like another one, with the secondary roads basically one big sheet of ice. However with tonight one plow truck pass should clear all the residential streets off the main roads. It's cruncy ice/slush from the snow that fell, with sleet & freezing rain glaze on top.
