We had our first real taste of winter yesterday and today, with about of inch of snow on the ground here in the city. That made for an interesting ride to work on skinny road tyres and nice coating of fresh snow on the road. I should begin to rebuild the singlespeed mountain bike very soon, just to save the Steamroller from getting too abused by salt and slush. I will say, however, that despite the occasional squirelly-ness thanks to my tyres, I did feel much more in control with the fixed gear.
