Snow came into town starting Friday night, I wussed out of bringing my daughter back in the trailer and left my MTB at the ex's while I took the subway. Rode the bike back last night and almost dumped it right before getting to my driveway, hehe. I was intentionally pushing it through some patches trying to slide/slip around a bit but had to put my foot down on this one... riding platforms is a lot more re-assuring to me in that situation so far.

Rode it in again today but the roads are melting and it's still cold so the ice-pack maybe forming now, which is my only real concern.

I love fenders, I had so much fun riding through all the gunk - the MTB feels so sure-footed compared to my roadie, I feel as though I've years of reaction time whereas the roadie is so fast/responsive I guess...
