Too many moving parts to get frozen up. In the icy/snowy stuff,
simpler is better.

They didn't show what was on my mind as soon as I saw the still pic: how hard is
this thing to pedal. All the shots seemed tb of riders going downhill -
whether steep or very slight.

If it's as hard to pedal uphill as I suspect, I'd think a snow board would be
cheaper and lighter...

Yeah, like skis. Pretty simple and they have been working for people
since long before the bike was invented.
