I agree but man do I hate studs! I have a bike equipped with them but I ride it only as a last resort. They work well in ice and snow but otherwise they are just boat anchors. Ick!

Even prestuds I've never had an end to the bicycle season...or even a bicycle season for that matter. I've ridden at least once per month since 1978. And that includes after rebreaking an ankle followed by surgery to remove the hardware from the previous break and getting hit by a car with 6 weeks off the bike following surgery to my knee. I even bought my new bike while on crutches. It's all about timing
