I'm thinking of mixing the commute up a bit.
I commute on a fixed ( Pearson Now You.....) and have gone on tracks with Schwalbe Marathons on occassions in the past. But wanted to take it a step further to jazz up my journey. However as the weather changes I don't think the Schwalbes will be up to the off road and wondered about cyclocross tyres but I'm a little unsure about xcross tyres on the road.
About 20 years ago I tried xcross tyres on a road bike and scared myself to death riding over some wet leaves on a pavement.
Does anyone do this kind of commute? I'd be glad of thoughts on what modern cyclo cross tyres are likely to be like on a proper, ie outer London commute.
