Scary to read jyossarian's crash but glad he came through in relatively fine form. Speedy recovery to you! My commutes have been wonderful the end of this week and been way to busy to post much. I put a Nokian studded tire on my front wheel. Didn't have time to deal with the rear one yet but just the front makes a tremendous amount of difference. Two days off now and no commuting but I'm looking forward to the next ride.
