Rode in today in my first snow storm. About an inch of wet snow on the bike path. Feet warm and dry, hands warm and dry, almost too warm in the torso with Polar Fleece vest and pullover. Slipped once on a turn up a slight hill but all in all my Michelin 1.5 rear tire with good chunky tread and my Continental front 1.5 seems sufficient. It was alot more like mountain biking than my usual commute. Was cold and snowy on the way home with ice patches forming that will make for a gnarly commute tomorrow a.m. I'm thinking about putting 1.95's on the Buzz just to feel a little more confident. Though saw one other rider this A.M. going the opposite directon on the path. I've seen him before- fixed gear, real nice bike, steel frame, dressed in all dark clothing like a European racer from the 60's, no helmet, wool cycling cap riding as confidently as if he were on a MTB with studded tires. His tracks were a perfect straight line, his cadence quick and his body relaxed. For the first time we greeted each other- did I detect a European accent? I could've stood to relax a bit more on the bike.
