Yeah, that would be a sight in January... :-/

And what "sight" would that be? Some warmer clothes?

Do they make snow tires for bicycles?

"Bikes on Ice? You're Kidding, Right?"

I would bet it'd be safer / more reliable to ride a bike in snow or ice for
4 miles than a car.

But even if you were completely adverse to riding in bad weather (not *cold*
mind you), what does that really reduce your # of cycling days by? A couple
weeks a year?
