think of any tricks easy for me. Help me!

It's my first uni winter too, and I'd love to ride in the snow. Only
one problem - England only gets decent snow for a couple of days every
few years. But then we didn't get any last year (in the south west
anyway), so we're due some. :) I imagine riding in snow is more fun for
the "I can say I did it" factor, rather than the actual experience,
which would be cold and hard work. Ice on the other hand...

The best trick to do in snow/ice, preferably ice, is to lock the wheel.
Stop pedaling by putting more pressure on the back pedal. This makes you
coast/slide on the ice.

But before you try this remember to put on all the safety gear you can
get your hands on to. When I tried it for the first time I only had
wrist and knee pads. Well, I ofcourse fell backwards and hurt my elbows.
I didn't have a helmet and I was glad that I didn't hit my head. But
when you get the hang of it, it's really nice trick. Some people
watching you might not notice that you've locked the wheel but it still
feels cool.

On snow this is one of the best tires. Michelin Mud would be better, but
you should only ride with a Michelin if there's snow or you ride in
swamp. The tread is soft.

Even better than the chains (in my opinion) is making a studded tire of
your own. It's fun to do it and they give you atleast some grip even on
ice. And I mean the really slippery polished type ice where you usually
can't even walk.

And Terry, I haven't yet had any problems staying upright.

I live in New England and we are having our first snow right now. I just
tried a trick were I slid down a skate ramp(no pedaling). You should try
it, its fun.

One trick you can do in the snow, that I haven't quite got down yet, is
drawing. The easiest shape is a star.
Start by idling. Then pedal backwards two revolutions, change
directions, and pedal forwards two revolutions. Then change direction,
and pedal backwards two revolutions. Unfortunately, every time I do this
it ends up looking like an octopus.
