How to Bike in the winter in Queens, NYC

By lashkar on 8/14/2008

I Live in Hillside, Queens NYC and new to enjoy bikeing.
I have an entry level hardtail Mountain bike, that been enjoying riding.

I wonder what are the options for Winter bike-ing ?
Is there any anti-lock break system ? Slip resistant tires :D ?

All jokes aside is there certain things I can get for my bike ( open to getting a new bike as well) so that I can keep bike-ing
in say .5 inch of snow ?

Thanks for good advice... not so for bad advice :<

Thanks

Hi, If you have a car, maybe you can travel a bit (buy a cheap rack), and find an area that isn't so snowed in? It might be worth your while to watch the weather reports, and trail reviews for areas within a few hours drive. Bye, Glenn
