[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 5 points 11 months ago* (1 child) Does it really? I'd think they would help, but actually a non-issue? I'm skeptical. Also getting sprayed by a passing asshole car showering me with slush+sand+road salt doesn't sound great either. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Pulptastic@midwest.social 8 points 11 months ago (1 child) Personal experience, yes. I’ve biked trails in all conditions and only had any trouble on one of them. It had snowed a bunch, thawed, froze again, and then rained. I could still generally bike around and never fell, but didn’t have enough traction for the short steep climbs found on trails. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 1 point 11 months ago (2 children) My commute is pretty hilly, doesn't sound like I'd have a good time on ice. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] stupe@lemmy.zip 4 points 11 months ago Some people in this community are nuts. They expect people to bike 15-20 miles though snowy mountains carrying a weeks worth of breakfast, lunch, and dinners. permalink fedilink source parent [–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 2 points 11 months ago I often choose to ride my bike in the winter on super icy (side roads, no traffic) it's fun for recreational purposes if you're into that. On a commute or something else, i really wouldn't recommend. permalink fedilink source parent
