Shows one pushing their bike home…. Seems like the snow won one actually.
can’t stop! won’t stop!
Been cycling under the snow this week and I saw cars and motorcycles having issues driving whereas none with bicycles
The video literally has someone pushing their bike. Op fucked up.
Cyclist is a beginner it’s ok
Classic skill issue
I remember one time I had to push my car home in the snow,
The reason for that is almost certainly psychological, you’re way more careful if you can feel every tiny slip and know there’s no metal cage protecting you. Similar to how youre less likely to hurt yourself with a sharp knife vs a dull one (though theres more reasons than the psychological aspect there). And I guess part of it is ow speeds; but even then:
Bicycles are more likely to slip on a snowy, icy or even wet road, simply because they have a smaller surface that touches the road. Also, as opposed to anything 3+ wheeled, they lean into turns and can slip sideways that way. I have a cool laceration scar on my chin to prove that.
So, I guess my point is, don’t take this comment to mean bikes are the safest vehicle in the snow, folks.
Makes me curious - are there some sort of specific winter tires for bikes? I’ve been riding mine around with its regular tires fine enough, but I do stay on the plowed parts of the roads. Would be cool if I could just drive through the actual snow
Fat tires
I don’t cycle when there’s snow on the road (bc I hurt myself that way once), but know from others there are spike tyres for bicycles. Keep in mind though that this still won’t give you the amount of stability you may be used to from something four wheeled. Be careful not to lean into turns too much, ime that’s the situation where slipping is most likely.
Although yes you can cycle succesfully. It doesn’t show everyone that went flat on their face.
I don’t get it
