On steroids - I thought my Snow Studs were loud until I got the Ice Spikers. Poor bloke I rode past on Sunday couldn't work out why my tyres were so loud - the puzzled face as he looked at both tyres. They are rather 'scratchy' climbing 30% cobbled canal bridges

I get people telling me that I have a puncture
At least they can hear me coming 😁

Riding in the snow is one of the best ways to hone your control skills and reactions, perhaps the best training of the type there is. Why ruin it? It you want to ride a bike and not slip everywhere you've got the other 363 days of the year to do it.

Plenty of folk didn't hear me at weekend, and with my 'iccle bell'........ Can't win. PS tyres might be off again shortly.

On the trike I don't need Ice tyres.
Nice quiet tyres.
Creep up behind them......
…….Then give a nice blast on the "Airzound"
and watch them scatter like 'roaches.
Followed by a cheery "thank you" as you
past.
Round here I now find that they move out of the way in plenty of time.

exactly this!I've seen that before, years ago - I think before I'd joined up here. An interesting idea, but not on a rim-braked bike like the one illustrated.
In my experience, knobbly tyres work quite well in fresh snow so I wonder how much of difference it would actually make?

Hadn't spotted they had rim brakes, bit of rookie mistake by them.

The screws work brilliantly but it's a long job and you really need a tyre liner to prevent the heads squirming and pinching the tube.

I tend to just ride really really slowly over the potentially icy parts of my commute... it works.
