If I knew any better I wouldn't have ridden yesterday. I only went to the store, less than a mile each way, just to test her out in real snow. I saw one other cyclist, and he was walking his bike. I ended up walking many of the corners because they were too rutted and slippery. I know once I have the technique figured out, it will be less scary. The bike was all over the place. I was sure I was going to fall, but I didn't, probably because I was quick to dismount and walk through the scary parts.

I've done more research today, and read about bringing my weight back, keeping a slow and even pace, and taking wide turns. My tire pressure was too high. It was a learning experience.

Ice has been fun. I love the studded tires. I even love the sound they make. I sound like a truck. People turn to see what's coming, and it's me! It's pretty funny to see their reaction.
