First properly cold morning here in southern Sweden yesterday, saw lots of bike commuters slip and fall. I almost stacked it twice, apparently summer cornering habits die hard... Dug out the studded tyres (30mm schwalbe marathon winter) last night and today's commute felt much better. Having a few butt-clenching front wheel slips in fresh memory makes the terrible drag and noise they make much more bearable.
