Does anyone else have snow tires for their bicycles?<BR/><BR/>Courtesy of the Toronto Bike Union, I just found out that those who live in my part of Toronto (Ward 27) have 33% of their work trips by active transportation (walking and biking).

What do you want to bet that the German automobile federation comes out in favour of them?<BR/><BR/>I'm not suprised Germans don't cycle as musch in the winter: Less people have got hold of the 'bikes for transport' idea, and we have a lot less infrastructure, and what we do have isn't always kept clear of snow and ice.
