Re: snow plus trike = fun
hmm, still no snow here. Hopefully I can break in the new motor before the snow. Then after it starts snowing....that should be interesting...

Get going fast on an icy patch, lock up the brakes and turn hard (and pray)

Re: snow plus trike = fun
somewhere i saw bikes with two wheels laced to a single hub with two tires per double wheel to make a super wide snowtire. can't remember what kind of fork and frame would accommodate that, but it look pretty wild.

If I had the time/money and knew some good spots to offroad, I'd totally do that.

Jason, if you don't like that homemade frame, maybe you'd like a Surly Pugsley (below). looks like fun, don't it just?
