We were given the okay to bring our bikes to work to get between different areas of the zoo. I'm all over it, although it could have been timed with better weather.


The "wintry mix" (rain, sleet, snow: Alexis suggested an alternate phrase "bag of shit") resulted in this giraffe skin pattern of bubbles under the slushy icy all over the tarmac.


Christopher the lion stayed on his heated rock, which got steamy.

I find the giraffe skin description very apt. Also, I'd like a heated rock to lie on, personally.

nokian haka snow tires for bicycles. tungsten carbide micro spikes.

spendy, but you can then ride on black ice with complete serenity. i'm told.

two is best, but front wheel if nothing else.

plus it opens up the city for midnite snow rides

there's also a DIY option if you have an old set of tires, and some screws, and time...
