hi all - i am wondering what your daily riders look like - for example above i have my ebike (a secondhand Eco-Evo by Easy Motion), which is my summer daily driver since i can charge it with solar energy and don't get as hot cycling (i'm fat and i live in a desert, which is a miserable combo sometimes).

right now i'm working on putting together a winter "acoustic" bike by putting together a bunch of parts stripped from old bikes i've salvaged or been given, but i'd love to see any ideas for what folks ride.

studded are nice, but even when I ran them on both wheels last year, I might have only really needed them twice, maybe. LOL

I'm happy with the GT 365 tires. They are "all season", so they do offer good traction on all surfaces and I can run them all year without worry.

There's a guy on YouTube named ryan van duzer who lives in Colorado and bikes everywhere (doesn't own a car). His videos will have some tips for winter commuting in your state :)
