It snowed last night here in Minneapolis and the streets have taken on the consistency of Bisquick -- the combination of sand and churned, compacted snow create a treacherous riding surface. I've shod the mountain bike with the Nokians, but studs aren't really all that helpful in this greasy semi-powder. It's tiring, tricky riding and bouncing from one rut to another is quite a test for one's ability to keep upright and moving forward. What a long, slow trip it's been...
Santa, baby, it may be difficult to stuff down a chimney, what with the giant tires, put please stuff one of these in my sock this year:

I bought a used Pug the winter of 2007 and ended up selling it in 2008 to somebody that really wanted to use it for a winter commuter. Now that winter is here again, I find I am regretting that decision somewhat. They look so cool, but I found that I didn't ride it all that much, so it's probably the "right" decision, but if I had unlimited money and storage space, I would have kept that bike for special occasions. Riding down the Creek on it was awesome once, and it totally sucked the second time (snow depth matters a lot). Those tires are not as versatile as you would think.
