My commute was 25 miles each way, 1400 feet (426m) of ascent each way, with no transit option. Last winter, a surprise blizzard rolled in during the week. My ride home took me 2.5 hours, rather than my usual 1:40, but I managed to stay upright the whole ride despite riding on slicks. Fixies and foul weather, better together!
Slipping around on a fixie is very fun... never dealt with ice though... only mud on 23c
I can't suffer even pavement with 23c, my comfort zone starts at 2.2" width
Would it be bragging to say that I ride a saddle with zero padding? :D Most of my tires are 32mm or smaller, although I prefer around 35mm. My gravel build is in progress, and that's going to have super plush 40mm tires.
You have my respect, crazy person :D
I'm running 120/140mm travel, 2.4" tires AND padded shorts on my trail bike for all day rides
It is single speed though, so I do kinda get the masochistic urges
Two ways of no padding for your saddle: material that gives (Brooks leather, rubber, etc) or you have a rock for a butt.
