Motorists hate them. Those road users who rely on the bicycle as a means of transport of their choice even during a snowstorm. On the other hand, there is no legal objection, as Brunswick's deputy city police commander Hardin Loser confirms: "There is no law that would ban cycling in snow and ice." There are also no legal requirements with regard to winter-proof tire tires. "That also applies to motorcycles", as Mores notes.
If you want to brave wind and weather, you should make sure that you are traveling with a roadworthy bike. On the one hand, because this is the only way to guarantee that the necessary technical prerequisites are met. On the other hand, however, because in case of damage, the insurance will look very closely, whether the ability to drive was given.
Light and braking
Especially because of the early onset of darkness, the lighting system must be complete and functional. Also recommended are reflective clothing with reflective materialS or accessories. Good brakes are also essential in difficult winter driving conditions. Unfortunately, the road salt increases the material enormously, so all wearing parts should be cleaned and checked regularly.
In addition, it is important to be careful when choosing the route. Cycle lanes are freed by the clearing services most of the last of the snow. If the driving conditions on the bike path are therefore unreasonable, there is no longer any obligation to use them. On the contrary, insurance companies sometimes cite such winter conditions as an example of the fact that the bike path should no longer be used.
The right tires
Even if there are no legal requirements for tires, spikes are recommended for use on ice rinks. How you can even make such coats yourself, was already discussed at this point - and found by the majority of the community for little sense. But in principle, a snow road is easy to grip and sufficient traction is guaranteed with conventional studded tires.
