I think some trailers that connect to bikes will keep a bike upright. Is this true? If so, it could be an advantage to pull said trailer during extra-slippery weather, just so it's easier to stay upright.
They make adult trikes which have two rear wheels and most of your weight on the rear end.
Training wheels on the rear wouldn't stop a fall when the front tire slips. So they'd be useless on anything but a recumbent or a very very upright upright.
A trike would be pretty rough in driven snow. Not sure I could power it through. Maybe a trike with a 250 watt pedal assist?
