Personal experience, yes. I’ve biked trails in all conditions and only had any trouble on one of them. It had snowed a bunch, thawed, froze again, and then rained. I could still generally bike around and never fell, but didn’t have enough traction for the short steep climbs found on trails.
Some people in this community are nuts. They expect people to bike 15-20 miles though snowy mountains carrying a weeks worth of breakfast, lunch, and dinners.
I often choose to ride my bike in the winter on super icy (side roads, no traffic) it’s fun for recreational purposes if you’re into that. On a commute or something else, i really wouldn’t recommend.
Does it really? I’d think they would help, but actually a non-issue? I’m skeptical.
Also getting sprayed by a passing
assholecar showering me with slush+sand+road salt doesn’t sound great either.Personal experience, yes. I’ve biked trails in all conditions and only had any trouble on one of them.

My commute is pretty hilly, doesn’t sound like I’d have a good time on ice.
