My ride to the store last night was great. there was a coating of ice on everything and I barely stayed on my feet walking to the garage. Got on the bike and felt much safer. Those Innova studded tired did their job fairly well. if I put too much force on the pedals in too high of a gear I could get the rear tire to spin a bit but the only other time I slid in a 3 mile ride was taking one corner a little fast and I caught a crack in the pavement.
