I live in a similar climate in central Oregon. If you ride fixed you will have more control over breaking. ( think driving a manual vs. automatic transmission). It is still pretty sketchy though. If you plan on riding in the snow a lot I would suggest riding a slightly smaller frame than you are used to because you will have more control. I think someone makes a studded tire also.

I live in the south and have mine on a Honda 14 model for about 6 months now. Was real happy at the ease of installation and durability. I routinely put stuff on the top as I am unloading the back of my truck and think it would probably do OK with a snow load provided it wasn't the real heavy wet snow like we get in the south.

I really like the BFGoodrch All Terrain tires. They are very good in driving in the snow, especially at this time of the year.

im in NC so i am not sure about heavy snow but it does well in hot conditions and everyday driving, and also at high speeds on the high way. It is also good in the rain but when washing your truck some water might get in around the liftgate area. Overall it is a great product for the price.

I bought a Snow Joe 622U1 in 2011. I was impressed. I live in NE Missouri and do get snow, heavy and wet at times, and use it about 5 -8 times a season Not like a big, gas one, but it beats shoveling.. No problems until tonight (feb, 2014, 4th time this season.). I hit a chunk of ice and it broke a belt. I got my money's worth.

I am very happy with the bike, except that I would have preferred handbrakes. However I am getting used to the footbrakes. The bike is heavy. It is probably not possible to make a lightweight bike 'step through'. I recommend it and I would buy it again

I sure didn't have a problem with it. We had quite a bit of snow this winter and mine worked perfectly. Mine is pretty exposed to the west and north so could be the snow was blown off. I love mine. Saves trips out to the mailbox.

I bought this bike 2 months back and I really like it. I mostly use this over weekends on paved roads, sometimes on gravel too. Cons: 1: recently one of the magnet that holds both tires hold together fell off. But it was a easy fix.2: if your shoe size is bigger than 10.5 make sure you try the bike before you buy .3. Seat was bit uncomfortable in the beginning but got used to it after a while.

Not bad at all. You have to shift into 1st or 2nd gear but it is a good bike and I really like it. The quality is pretty good and it has a great paint job. I've had mine for almost a year not. Just a note, I had a bike shop assemble it as it has a lot of adjustments and such, but it was definitely worth it. Mine is bright red in color. Great to be seen on the road.

Can't really answer to the snow conditions since we are in Texas during the winter but my husband loves these tires and stands behind them. He retired from Ford after 40 years as a Service Technician.

It works fine in the rain, no issues. I haven't encountered any snow so I can't answer to that.

I live in the South, and we don't have a LOT of snow. But we did have some nasty ice storms this year and the SportDog fence held up very well with no problems.

We never used it in the snow. The large back wheel would probably be "pullable" as the other commenter suggested.

David Brinkmeyer is spot on with his answer. It is a great bike but if you are going to be hauling a load you should step up to higher quality bike with more gears and better brakes.
