nah, slicks all the way :)

I ride a little more then you (40km) but it's all road riding to and from work. I had to give up winter riding last year as it was a) too bloody cold, b) 3 times the distance I have ever biked in the winter and c) lost too much muscle mass with HRT. I'm trying to get as much biking in this year as i can because I will be having my SRS on June 11th and that will be the end of my biking for the year.

ride on :)

How do you bike in the winter with slicks? Don't those skinny tires sink in the snow?

in the winter i would put away my road bike and use a crappy old mountain bike... soooo slow :(

Ohh. Yeah. Imagine trying to get 15mi in those conditions. xD That was me back in highschool, torquing it through snow drifts because I didn't own a car.
