Do many of the long cycle pants have chamois? I have looked and most I have seen dont seem to. I definitely need the chamois.

Do you guys change your tyres for winter? I dont want to end up face first on the road so if you also have winter tips for your bike I could sure use those too.
I was going to look into the tight with chamois. I just hate taking forever to change clothes at work! LOL
as for the tyres: I was riding a 26" comfort bike which has nice fat commuter tires on her. I haven't decided which bike I'm going to ride this winter but it'll either be the comfort bike again or the mountain bike. The trail can tend to get icy due to the shade plus I have to cross several wooden plank bridges which in the mornings are frost-covered and slick so the thought of riding that on skinny tyres has me a little concerned.
