Snow Tyres

If I’d had the time this week to get out and ride then I’d definitely have needed some spike tyres like Ice Spikers from Schwalbe.

Not only do these tyres look really cool but they’d be sure to keep me upright on the icy streets around Rochester.  The snow hasn’t really melted since it fell last Friday, it’s just getting worse for cycling as the compacted snow is slowly icing up and making it difficult to walk on let alone cycle on.

Unfortunately work, as always, has got in the way and I haven’t been out on the bikes but even if I wanted to venture out after dark, I don’t think it would have been safe enough without some Spikers fitted…
