"Here's a cool kit that will allow you to transform your mountain bike into a bike that you can ride on the snow! You just add the front ski and the back rear-drive and you're set. No tools required." [via] - Link.

This looks so cool. Someone should add an electric motor to this. It would be just like the old snorunners that chrysler made in the 70's. http://www.ourvictorianhouse.com/Snorunner/snorunner.html

I looked at the video on the website. One interesting thing is that you only see people going DOWNHILL not uphill with this kit. I can go downhill on a regular bike with spike tires. Why would I want to go spend $500.+ and 5 pounds on something that can be accomplished with an $80. spiked tire?
