The weather here in Kansas City has been crappy as of late. Freezing rain does not make for good riding (mountain or road). So I decided to head out for a trail run. Not a good idea either - I busted my arse big time. What I need are some snow shoes. But being the tight ass that I am, I didn't want to spend any money so I search the www for an answer. A couple clicks later I found Screw Shoe
This seemed like a simple idea and it was. A quick stop by the Home Depot and $3.00 later I had some #6 - 3/8 inch sheet metal screws in hand. It took about about 5 minutes to install. I had about 20 minutes of daylight left so I went for a quick test run.
Man I am glad I got screwed! Traction all over the place. I could not believe the difference 16 little sheet metal screws could make. I wonder if I could use these on my mountain bike tires? We plan to ride Smithville lake tomorrow night. I guess it is off to Home Depot again for another box of screws.....

You didn't really have to search the web to find the screw shoes. All ya had to do was ask a Trail Nerd! ;-)
