Zip Ties for Traction
Winter is not the best time for cycling enthusiasts as icy roads aren’t exactly bike-friendly. You could end up slipping and potentially hurting yourself. Sure, you can get studded snow tires but practically speaking, that’s just an unnecessary expense that many can’t afford. Here’s a simple solution that doesn’t look great but it works and it is much cheaper than snow tires.
Just attach zip ties that you have around the house to the bicycle wheels and you will have all the traction you need to navigate icy, slushy streets. Once the snow melts, you just have to snip off the zip ties and that’s it.
