(Winter biking) Winter biking (also referred to as snowbiking or icebiking) is the activity of cycling in winter weather with snow, ice, and slush. As in warm months, people bike in winter for several reasons. Bike commuters cycle to work for exercise or to save on parking and gasoline costs.

Winter Bikes?
If it wasn't so damn cold and snowing I would have taken a better photo.
I had to stop by Wal-Mart on the way home from work tonight, and much to my surprise - in the middle of February and with a full on snow storm raging - they had a rack of bicycles for sale out front.
Also, while there, I figured I'd pick myself up a new pair of winter gloves to replace the ones I have with holes in them. Thing is, they didn't have any. However, if I was interested in various colours of bermuda shorts or tank tops, Wal-Mart is the place to be in February.
I suppose I'll just have to go back in June and get some winter gloves.
50 kroner
My friend Marie bought these cycle handwarmers for 50 kroner cheap at the cheesy Cash and Carry bike shop.
