Our northern winter this year has been a mixture of freezing and thawing cycles (no pun intended) that have created an icy situation that necessitates me having to re-stud my winter bike tires.
 |
| A little excessive? |
Since I had carelessly allowed my two cordless drill batteries to go dead, it was necessary to screw in each stud by hand.
Maybe I should have waited for the batteries to charge instead of wrenching my wrists trying to install hundreds of screws into each tire.

| Porcupines would be jealous |
My son who is into chainmail and studs would appreciate the end result of my efforts although I would have to warn him not to get too close to the tire since the studs are wickedly sharp.
 |
| Hehe |
Another option to consider is to start riding the bike south in the fall before Halloween since we always seem to have deep snow before that hallowed eve.
 |
| Boo! Hoo |
I'm not suggesting that a person ride too far south - eventually you'd hit snow in the southern hemisphere!
