Xtracycle as a Snow Bike

Wed, Dec 9, 2009

Bikes, Winter Biking

Xtracycle at the slope in the Snow

I took the Xtracycle to the Lakefront looking for some slope winds. Forecast was good but the wind was too SE so I just enjoyed the ride on the Xtracycle-converted Zize bike.

I rode on snow-covered roads, snowy grass (about 4 inches deep), slushy streets and wet pavement. The rear end of the bike seems to have great traction and the handling is very stable.

All I need to get this bike really winter ready is to add fenders that are on the way.
