Snow biking tips

I doubt I'll see any real snow at all here, certainly moose tracks aren't going to be a problem:

Electric Bike Kit

Just spoke to Jamie, and the kits should be in on Thursday.
It's still possible this will all turn out to be an expensive mistake (see uk.rec.cycling passim for doommongers), but in principle having roughly double the power for a less than 5% increase in weight should make cycling easier - enough so that I actually do the full commute more often, ending up doing as much work cycling but using the car less.
Not renewing the car insurance (due 2nd January) might be over-optimistic though.
