Re: PESO - Snow Day
Thanks, Ann. I've taken many shots of that segment of my walk to work, but none of the others has worked as well. Larry, it was about 32F/0C on my way to work, which was why the stuff didn't stick around. It was 40F/4C on my way home.

Re: PESO - Snow Day
On dry city streets skinny road slicks have the best adhesion. In the snow they sink down to pavement and aren't that bad. Once the salting and plowing is done they're fine. Before that treaded cyclocross tires are great but snow gets cleared fast downtown and once on bare pavement they wear down quickly. Mountain bike tires are too much resistance. Road tires are the best compromise in most conditions imho. Cheers, frank Alan C c...@lantic.net wrote: Very brave.

Re: PESO - Snow Day
Yes, loose sand is the problem because they do eternal temp repairs by filling the potholes with soil. Iv'e side-slipped a couple of times but haven't actually come off yet. Like you, I more of less know where the problems are but I don't ride that fast. We now have some sections where there are more potholes than road. The smaller municipalities just can't generate enough income to do the maintenance properly (mostly because there is a culture of non-payment among certain section of the population it is never followed up for fear of losing votes). I have also thought about converting my road bike to a TT bike with more robust wheels and bigger treaded tyres new handlebars. I seldom use the drops in any case.
