So I comute by bike and this week I ride through fast changing snow condition. It got from completly covered cycle route, to badly cleaned roads, to mushy brown sludge, and today there were loads of frozen bits of snow and ice patches.

I managed to fell only twice - inertia is your best friend and worse enemy at the same time. And I hope that these conditions will be over soon. Most annoying part is that I dont know what to expect and how to prepare because conditions vary from day to day.

      And unpushable I had to carry my bike.

      I thing that the bike gets most of the beating and as much as I try to take care of it something will need replacing in the spring.

        “replacing in the spring”
        So you’ll have 2 bikes. Use the older one, with winter tires, for “bad days”. Shiny new one as the daily driver.
