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.)
