Slightly terrified of commuting in the (Michigan) winter

[kfergos]

Anna, I have a pair of 26x1.9 Nokian studded tires I'm looking to sell (I'm moving away from slush, sleet, snow, and ice -- woo!); ideally I'd get $75 for the pair, but I'm willing to negotiate. Interested?

Edited to add: Winter biking is orders of magnitude harder on your bike -- and thus more expensive -- than summer biking. If you ride all winter in all weather, you'll definitely have to replace the chain & cassette, and, odds are good, the bottom bracket & headset by the time you're done even if you take really good care of your bike. If you can avoid riding your bike on sloppy days, you'll save yourself a bundle. My winter bike requires $600 worth of repairs from last winter (I still haven't done it -- sticker shock, I think).
