studded tyres make biking on ice feel like biking on asphalt, and you can buy very good rechargable LED lamps. I had a teacher who biked ~20km in the winter, through rural areas and during the dark since it becomes night at 17:00.
But we’re talking 11pm, if I get in a bad accident on a dark farm-to-market road I’ll just die. No one will see or hear me.
Also 20km is only 12.4 miles.
And I outright don’t believe riding on a steep icy hill with studs is like riding on asphalt. I’m sure it’s doable, I just don’t believe it’s easy or safe.

I have lights and ride in the dark already.
