Yes, snow biking is fun!
You bicyclists didn't want to be left out of the fun the runners are having with their studded ice-running shoes, now did you?

No need--you can just make your own studded snow tires for your bicycle.

More practical for most of us might be IceBike.org's winter tires page--which talks about which kinds of normal bicycle tires are best for winter riding (road tires with an inverted tread pattern seem to work amazingly well), the commercially available studded snow tires for bicycles, and a couple of different ways to make your own studded bicycle tires for snow and/or ice.

Think it's too cold to even consider bicycling? Take a look at the recommendations for cold-weather clothing on IceBike.com. Following them has made my own cold-weather bicycling--and other winter activities outdoors--a lot more comfortable.
