I had similar problems with the return commute. Snow caking up in my
fenders. I had to stop twice and scrape it out. Actually, riding on
the snow isn't that bad, it's just the ice. I still had a good time
though. I think you have to be a real "outdoorsey" person to ride to
work all year round
Oh yeah, my snow pic -

I wish we had Seattle's snow. By the time the storm hit Portland it
was a piddley little thing - just a dusting. I got sent home from
school conferences early. This morning I came in late - mid 20's.
Unfortunately, I timed my ride just as the sun was starting to melt
the little snow/ice we had. Sli
Most excellent priorities!!!

Chapeau Brian and Ryan on the snow commute! I bailed on the commute
entirely and worked from home today and based on the traffic reports I
was hearing alot of car and bus commuters wish they would have had
your commute. Hope you get there and back safe and sound tomorrow, it
was pretty icy in spo
Now here's a testament to the bike commute. I just talked with a co-worker
who left before me to take the bus (faster than cars in weather like this),
and she just got home 5 minutes ago. Granted she went 25 miles to my 10,
but 5 hours vs. 1 hour. Yikes...

Only made it three blocks up to the corner store tonight...too cold to
enjoy going much further (no snide comments from the cold weather list

fenders. Lots of cleara
I had seven miles each way. Funnest commute ever.

Good for you, Brian!
It's fun to ride in the snow. I went down hard on black ice a couple
of winters ago, so decided to invest in Schwalbe Marathon Winters -
the carbide studs work great. They come in 26x1..75, so they'll fit
your Miyata. Don't need them too often around here, but when you need
th
BAs in that snow? I salute you. ("Sa-lute" ala Hee Haw)
Yeah, one learns to kick the fenders the dislodge snow/slush build
up. Sometimes a quick wheelie will work too. Or just picking up the
bike and slamming it back down at convenient stops.
