I'm curious. I know where my life diverged and where I would've been a car guy otherwise, would be interested to see what the dealio with other people is or whether they even ever thought about it

    i used to ride my bicycle every day but during the winter i decided not to get squashed by trucks and started walking instead (the sidewalks didn't get cleared, so i couldn't bike on them and i absolutely wont share an icy road with cars).

    If you have some disposable income I cannot recommend studded bicycle tyres enough here. I mean the slippey-slidey-cars are still a (potential) danger but having car drivers gawk at you like you're walking on water because you're riding a bicycle at 30° corner leans on iced out roads is fun

      it's definitely on my radar for next winter if i need to bike; i would love to stroll past all the lifted f250s stuck in the snowbank

      So so much this

      I live in a place with brutal winters most years and studded tires are worth every cent
