Flip it and slam it. Do it now.

Ooops, sorry. Just pulled up pictures of the bike. Looks like a fun bike, but no way you can flip that bad boy.

As far as the weather is concerned, I bet that bike has the thingies on it that allow you to install fenders. If you dress warmly (learned by trial and error, or hanging around the Winter cycling forum) you can get out in most any weather short of an ice storm. People go out in ice storms, too, but that requires a different mindset, a lot of experience, and a latent deathwish.

I'd suggest that you ride it around the block and leave it at that until nicer weather comes. You'll be surprised/depressed how many of your muscles and soft tissues initially protest your decision to take up cycling.
