mrelwood Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I think there was another Finn besides EUC Extreme that had also studded the tire of a Lhotz for winter use. He had several videos at Youtube on riding on snow. I won't do it though, and hoping not to disappoint other Finns... Even with a studded tire the traction can never be the same in every surface as in the summer. And I have decided not to fall down from an EUC for any reason.

We get some packed snow that is slippery even with snow boots as it gets compacted down and turns into a smooth ice like surface so I would worry about losing traction there. Even still, I'll see some hardy mountain bikers riding around in the winter. It depends on the type of winter weather you get. Ski goggles and a facemask / toque / balaklava definitely would help. Just in case someone doesn't know what a balaklava looks like here's a photo. 1 hour ago, LanghamP said: @Hunka Hunka Burning Love I've been wearing this ski mask recently. Very effective.

I think this ZZ Top beard mask would be cool: Windsor, Ontario. Doing a Google search for Windsor, Ontario weather reveals some mixed photos. This guy seems okay with the little bit of snow. While this guy looks like he'd rather be inside than plowing a trench through the downpack... Let us know how you make out. It's getting close to that time of year again.

On your current website, wherever you have EWheels, replace it with http://www.ewheels.com Then when people lift your content at least you may still get some traffic back to your business WOW.

Will @Rehab1 be posting more snow shoveling-with-a-wheel videos Leaf blowing then snow shoveling since my halloween video ended in disaster. There is still time to shot another but what a bummer! Take one: I was using my commercial mosquito sprayer to create a fog effect that I planned to ride though during the video. I also had a large strobe light to create an eerie effect. While my wife waited patiently on the lawnmower to video the event I started up the fogger and within seconds my wife had disappeared under the cloud of toxic fumes! The wind direction had changed slightly and I never provided her with a mask to protect her from the mist! Mten and I quicky rode back to shut off the flow of the liquid insecticide. I kept the rest of the sprayer running. I then rode back to see if my wife was still alive. Not a happy moment! Take 2: I returned to the mosquito sprayer that was still running with insecticide shut off. At that point the 2 foot long stainless steel nozzle was red hot. I had never used the sprayer at night so I thought this was normal. Boy was I wrong. As soon as I turned on the valve controlling the flow of insecticide the whole sprayer immediately caught fire! ( No cameras were running at this point. Probably best.) I was running around like a madman with my costume trying to extinguish the flames coming out of the sprayer’s barrel! My wife was screaming Holy S..t!!! Needless to say my planned halloween video turned into a scary adventure! For those not familar with a commercial mosquito sprayer here it is. What powers it? A small engine sitting next to a tank of gasoline. Essentially a bomb! This could have been much worse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Video would have been cool, but maybe our imaginations are even better Think of it this way, you just added to your repertoire of stories to tell during family gatherings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nontoxic and a lot cheaper. @Rehab1 do you think your mosquito fogger can use regular fog juice, I bet it is the same stuff, propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin, just without the insecticide. Assuming, of course, that the mosquito fogger still works. https://www.target.com/p/fog-machine-liquid-hyde-and-eek-boutique-153/-/A-52363337?ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=google_pla_df&CPNG=PLA_Seasonal+Shopping&adgroup=SC_Seasonal&LID=700000001170770pgs&network=g&device=c&location=9027214&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9-6vp-SR1wIVAh1pCh2z9gwbEAQYAiABEgLbnvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
