It was snowing on the way home last night. The weather report said the snow was going to stay north of us. It didn't. I had ridden the road bike to work that morning with the skinny tires so I just had to take it easy.
This morning it was 26°F with a light wind. There were lots of icy patches from yesterday's snow melting on the warm pavement, then freezing overnight. No additional snow was in the forecast for today. I briefly considered breaking out the winter bike with the studded tires, but I really don't like riding that bike unless I have to. I then considered riding my hybrid, but I was going to log 21 miles today. So then I decided that if I was going to ride a bike without studs, I might as well take the road bike.
I just road around the icy patches and took it easy across the bridges. Made it to work just fine on those skinny tires.
