Two falls on ice by others in my cycling group earlier today has persuaded me to buy some studded tyres.
My weapons of choice are a pair of Schwalbe Marathon Winters.
The question is what can I expect of them?
I grasp they need to be run in on asphalt, and they give more ice/snow grip at lower pressure.
But presumably I still won't be invincible on the blackest of black ice.
Do I need to adjust my riding style?
All thoughts on using studded tyres welcome.
