I know a bunch of folks have been asking about studded tires... just wanted to let you know that we've got the Schwalbe Marathon Winters in 700x35c and 26x1.75" for 30% off today at my shop. They're still certainly spendy -- but read the reviews: generally considered the nicest out there. Cheers,

Silk long undies, spandex over the legs, cotton over the spandex, knee high zippered boots (which I shirked last year but now make great sense) smartwool socks under Addidas soccer knee highs, pleated skirt, Russian issue wool nautical coat (or down ski coat), bunny fur ear warmers under a wool ski cap, two scarves, skinny gloves under heavy Polish wool mittens, aviators durng the day and clear safety goggles at night, and Burt's Bees lip balm. I'm warmer on my bike than in my apartment.
