There's this rasta-type man who I see pretty much every day, going around the neighborhood on his bicycle. The cold weather and snow don't seem to bother him. I wonder if he has snow tires on his bike?

I saw a guy in baggy cut-offs last week. Some people just have no sense.

Hmm actually that’s an interesting thought I wonder if they make special bike tires like that!

I don't know. I do know that the tires on "mountain bikes" are extra knobby, so, maybe.

@BarBaraPrz I know for off road and on road with mountain bikes there are different tires so I’m guessing there probably is ones designed with snow in mind.

This rasta-type man is taking big chances with his bike in the snow.

He goes slowly, even in good weather.

I hope he has, I have seen many people falling while biking in the snow.

I haven't seen anyone on bikes yet this winter. But as you know being a neighbor to me its been a nasty winter. I go to the YMCA and a lot of people ride their bikes there but so far I haven't seen any in the snow in Grimsby.

@BarBaraPrz I look at the weather every morning and so far there has not been any good news.

Maybe he freezes all the germs out by being in the cold all the time. It is good we take notice those around us, though, so if they need help we can get it for them. Maybe he has "snow tires"

He always travels at the same, steady pace, fair weather or foul. He's never in a hurry.

My bicycle stays at home during winter because I have not the courage of your rasta-type man, the first 10 mn in the cold are a too unpleasant experience. There are indeed winter tires for bicycles to run on snow and ice, he would probably not go far with normal road tires.

He seems to be an iron man and special tires in his bicycle.

I haven't been on a bike for about sixty years, so I'll take Coral's link at its face value and accept they make tires that keep bicycles safe in snow. You just won't find me on one of them. I prefer my own two feet when i'm outside.
