Bah been riding virtually everyday for the past 6 years. Here in Toronto no studded tires required, but it gets pretty snowy and icy, especially this year. OP's lightweightidness is embarrassing. Just ride it out, learn to handle yourself on a bit of ice, wussyman.

andrelam.. fall down go boom .. get up.. heal .. go ride. That's the ticket.
