It is snowing out...that is all. :cry:
 
you´re lucky, man! in the past 5 years we have less and less snow every year, because of global warming i think :roll:
and you can also ride your bike in the snow :wink:
 
throw a ski on the forks and a few rows of 1/8 in. sheetmetal screws in the back tire and WOOOOO HOOOOOO snow bike

Man....it's 86F here today.

Not the slightest chance of snow around here until maybe January.

And that could be a long shot. :wink:
 
when i was a kid like 13 14 yrs i took a cross country ski and cut the end off and mounted it to the forks. then lined duct taped the inside of the tire and then duct taped two old inner tubes to the backside of the tire also. then mounted it as normal. then screwed in 1/8 in sheet metal screws in every knobby and POOF ski bike

didn't do good in deep snow but on scraped/plowed roads it worked sweet
 
"Where I come from, there is none of that cool snow you guys find at the dump. No snow, no tornados, no earthquakes, nothing." :mrgreen:

Found these in a book I'm reading called "The Ride to Modernity: The Bicycle in Canada, 1869--1900". One of many cool photos and illustrations.

I ride to work year round, and last year we had several inches on Oct 12 , and no snow on New Years day. Usually get about 90 to 100 inches over the winter season .
