This is an accurate description of the situation in Chicago, where I've been commuting by METRA and folding bike for going on 19 years. I ride from Union Station to the UIC dental school, about 2 miles. The bike lanes are used as repositories for snow plowed off the traffic lanes. There hasn't been a whole lot of car traffic this week, but I've had to pull over to let the occasional car pass me. This would have been impossible without studded tires.
