: in all of my 25 years of unicycling (all in michigan), i have never rode
: through the winter, never even thought of it. well, this year is
: different. this year i plan on riding 'til i drop, continuously,
: repeatedly. so has anyone out there done any riding in the snow? advice?
: should i get knobby tires? chains? insurance?
: a light dusting of snow a few days ago proved little difficulty, in fact
: the light rain we have today has been more problematic. i had better
: traction on the light, dry snow.
A year or so ago On One Wheel had an article on making a snow tire for a
unicycle. The general idea was to run rivets around each side of the tire,
then zig-zag picture-hanging wire between the rivets. The article gave more
detail. I've been meaning to try this, but haven't gotten around to it
yet.
