(WARNING: THIS VIDEO GETS INSANELY BORING VERY QUICKLY!
I posted it for those who asked me whether one really could ride on snow on the flat with a velomobile for more than a hundred yards)

I went to the flea market this Sunday morning, like I do every Sunday. It's snowed quite a bit last night, so the cycle path was covered with to 2 to 4 inches of snow, and this early in the morning, it was still fresh and pristine.

This is part of my route. The flee market is only 8 miles from my place, but it took me well over an hour to get there, because the snow slowed me down so much. It's quite a workout to push 3 studded tires through heavy snow!
