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.

    I have gravel/touring/all road/do it all bike so no suspension. But I may try the zip tie trick. I dont have a problem on packed snow, problem is when there are ice chunks and ice.

    My bike handeling skills are minimal and I got this bike recently (my first drops). So it is good way how to improve them.

        I am new to drops I ride bike since I was 3 yo. As I pointed in another comment studs doesnt make sense.

        For me it is just to getting used to it.
