It's officially that time of year, with snow and slush and ice perpetually impeding your biking. What to do? Well, if you've got a box of zip ties and can conjure up a little MacGuyever spirit, you do this.
Fritz Rice of the Dutch Bike Co. is the clever rider behind these makeshift snow tires, and while he admits they look a bit silly (and that some fixie-riding hipsters may have pioneered the idea), he seems pretty thrilled with the results.

I've never seen ties used in that way, but what the Hell, if it works...
I don't see how that would work haha.
MacGuyver would totally be proud.
oh yea it deff works
it adds traction so it should work lol :D
oooh. I need to try this.
I hate those ties. But at least that's a more productive use for them.
how just put some glitter on those and a card in the spokes and you'll look extra cool.
Good for a quick trip...but not great for more than a few miles, as those wear out quick. You'd be better off with steel wire.
very cool i gotta test this
Well, that's just great :P
hehe nice...
it's gonna be a huge pita to put on and remove though.
that looks damn handy
