I've done a dozen or so winters on my own, its the kid that makes trickier.
Usually the only riding that I do with my son is recreational. Sometimes we run errands together, sure, but mostly just joyriding. OTOH, most of my winter riding is commuting back and forth to work which I do solo. Now that my son has graduated to a Trail-a-Bike I would need to buy a 20" studded tire and a fender if I wanted to take him riding in the winter.
