Winter cycling basics

You also need to add special "snow fenders" to your existing fenders that go down to the ground. I made it from a 1 gallon milk jug and used a small nut/bolt to attach it. Also you can wear wool pants which you can get for cheap from army surplus websites.

I wonder if you can make your own studded tires with shortened thumb tacks and cheap knobbies.

I doubt that would last more than a few miles!

Very nice winter bike and a cool video! Schwalbe Marathon Winter are amazing tires! I'm glad so many people are interested in winter cycling. I just posted a video response for a winter commuter bike I built a couple of months ago - please approve the video response and check it out. Keep riding and stay warm!

For winter, I bought a 50 $ used MTB, fenders and front and rear lights. That's it. No need for studded tires and all! And it gets to below 0 Fahrenheit often here.

@naulty3500 absolutely! plus they're cheap; and if you use the fluorescent zip ties, they'll increase your visibility.
