This will be the seventh Toronto winter I've biked. The last six winters, I rode all year without changing my bicycle tires. Here's how I've been doing it, but this year, I've made a significant change. I've gone out and bought a set of winter tires for my bike.

I put them on while the snow fell yesterday, and this morning, I gave them a solid test. I biked through snow, ice and slush to a TMDS gig at Bay and Front.

The round trip was a little over 30km, and the vast majority was on the Waterfront Trail.
