Got any tips for riding in the ice & snow?

Last winter I got near the top of the Cliesh Hills and thought "that's good, there's been no ice". I was wrong but it was only a 6mph slide or less. I'm glad I never hit it when I was going faster .

I had a great off years ago on the North York Moors, came to the top of the climb through the clouds and just went for it, overtook my uncle on a long downhill stretch off the racing line into long grass but there was zero traction, dabbed the brakes and bailed really slowly into an extended speedway stylee sideways two wheel drift, fell gently onto my arse and continued sliding down the mountain for what seemed like half an hour, I just couldn't stop. Giggling all the way!

Trike conversion kit available here http://www.altena-bike.nl/index.php?id=241 Got a feeling it's expensive though.
The other man to speak to is http://www.trykit.co.uk/

The altena one is expensive at £615.
I saw a kids bike converted using just a pole that connected to 2 wheels, but it was a single speed.Thanks for the links Steve and Mickle for the information.

(sorry off topic from the main topic)
