Summary: 


  As a poor student in St. Louis, I was forced to use my bike through all
kinds of weather.  It may seem amazing, but you can actually ride through
several feet of snow.  Probably isn't too good on your bike, though.

  At any rate, we found we could avoid cold toes by removing the straps from
our toe clips and using the clips stand alone.  Of course you get less
binding, but your circulation is much improved.  This also allows you to
bike in sturdier shoes, or even boots. (No doubt the purists choke on that
idea, but try barrelling through a four foot drift in Batas.  You'll wear
boots the next time.)
