While this article targets road cycling, from my own casual city cycling experience I strongly recommend wide tires. They forgive much more rider errors and slip less in any case. I personally use 60mm (60-622) Schwalbe Big Apple tires on my 17 year old Utopia Velo steel bike. Make sure the wide tire fits the frame, some city/holland type bikes can only fit some 40ish mm tires.
