So, its snowing here in Milwaukee... 6+" when I drove to work at 9am.

I saw someone with a bicycle that seemed to have a snow plow or shovel contraption attached to the front of his bike. It didn't look like a makeshift device either... I thought I saw moveable aluminum bars securing it in place.

Anyone seen anything like this? It seemed like he was using it to shovel/plow his driveway more than he was actually riding. I wanted to stop just to figure out what it was, but kept going...

They have mounted push lawn mowers on bikes. Why not a plow? I would hate to hit a pothole in the street that might hurt.

As mentioned on the other thread, the weather man said you're getting the same storm as we got on Monday...gads...if you can get the plow go for it!

Nice I like the drag behind plow. I should look into making a trail grooming sled.
