Default Riding snow

Riding in snow is fun IF you have studded
bike tires. I use 35mm.


Studded tires, in my experience, is more for
ice and especially for turning on roads and
roundabouts, when the temperature is (has been)
just around 0C.

For snow you can have 56 tires which aren't
studded but have an aggressive pattern.

Up until the snow is about 6 inches deep its
fun. Once the snow gets to 1-2 feet deep,
then its not fun. You sink into the snow and
you cannot pedal. Even the fat bikes everyone
seems to love sink into the snow and will
not go.


Right, it can be snow on a regular road.
