What is the best way to attach skis to bike dropouts (for snowbike)?

attach a metal brack from the underside of the ski up to the outer portion of the axle of the bicycle

Get thee to your local bike shop.  Ask for leg warmers.  Otherwise, check performance.com, velowear.com, velogear.com, etc...

I believe one of these is what you need: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CatId=464&Nav=|c:81|&Sort=3&Recs=10

okay it all depends on the situation if u riped open ur tire being the worst case scenario u plainly have to by a new tire an inner tube.\nif u just blew ur tire u have to either patch or get a new inner tube\nto patch ur inner tube u have to first find the hole for this u have to inflate the inner tube then pass it through water looking for air bubles comming out of the inner tube . once u found the whole u just need a patch kit that u can get anywhere where bikes are sold.all u do is apply glue around the area and then aplly a rubber patch then just aplly presure into glue is dry after that re inflate the inner tube and pass through water agian to see if any air bubble are getting out

I'd check my local used ski shop place first...sometimes you can get child programs that let you upgrade the skis as your kids get older.

to solve your problem with minimal work, just bring your bike into a LBS and they should have the tool to take it out, shouldnt cost you a dollar or two, they might just do it for you for free! \n\nCheers

Learn how to horse-hop. Rolling at a slow speed, standing on the pedals; in one fluid two step motion: crank into a high wheelie, put your weight on the back tire for a split second, then jump up off of the back tire pushing the handlebars up and forward and lifting your feet as high as you can.\n\nLifting and pushing on the bar is what keeps the pedals on your feet (try lifting the bike like this a couple times while standing next to it to see how it works).\n\nYou should be able to get at least a foot or more off of the ground with a little practice. The trick is in weighting the back tire and then jumping off of it.\n\nNow: Take this technique with a little more speed to some small jumps and shock yourself. With the right timing you can go ridiculously high off of very small things.\n\nWith bigger jumps this technique is not necessary or possible but your body motion is very similar so this is a good place to start.

Yes the strait cable is the best choice on a racing bike.  A gyro will actually make the brakes much weaker especially if you have a v-brake.  Strait cables are the best choice for racing because they allow direct pull giving you the most powerful stop possible.  Unless you have disc brakes which are pointless and hendering on a bmx bike.

OK I'm not sure what your trying to accomplish by taking the wheel off the bike but here goes while pedalling the bike put it in the smallest cog on the rear (this will make it easier to remove and replace the wheel) then while holding the bike up give the wheel a sharp shot on the top of the wheel with your fist it will easily pop out .\n\nIf its the trainer your trying to figure out it should work with the skewers on your bike if not one should be provided in which case its not necessary to remove the wheel from the bike ,flip the quick release undo the nut on the other side (all the way off) slide the stock skewer out slide the new one in and your in business.

You need one leg balance, as you use leg motions much like skates. They go very fast!\n\nhttp://gorp.away.com/gorp/activity/skiing/skateski.htm

You might try reading through http://www.icebike.org. If you don't find an answer there sign up for their email list and ask the email list community. ( Just to let you know how active the list is, I have received 3556 emails since last August 2005 from this list from people all talking about winter riding, etc and it literally saved my bacon from getting frostbite, hypothermia, etc this last winter when I made my first attempt at commuting in the snow on a bicycle)\n\nYou could also try searching their site at http://www.icebike.org/search.html\n\nYou can search the email list archives at https://listserv.heanet.ie/icebike.html ( you have to sign up to do this )\n\nSign up on the list at http://www.icebike.org/icebikelist.htm\n\nEnjoy :)

Ski as high as you can.\nDo as many flips, twists, gainers, tucks, and summersaults while hanging in the sky.\nAnd.\nTry not land on your face.

You can put the thin smooth tires on your mountain bike.  Almost all tire manufactures make some type of slick for all mountain bikes.  It's a lot cheaper than buying another bike just because you like the tires.\n\nAnd don't let the thick rims fool you.  Clenchers are clenchers and you can put just about any width tire on them.\n\nI pasted two links below of slick mountain bike tires from Performance.  Like I said, any bike shop will have 'em or they can get 'em for you.  Or you can just order online.\n\nI've had the ritchey's before.  Lot's of tread and they last a long time for the money.  \n\nGood luck!\n\nHappy tire swapping!

The ski boots are likely to be too large to use a traditional toe clip.  Skip the toe clip and use a mountain bike cage type pedal.  To add power, add a couple of toe clip straps.  With the large size of the boots, you may have to use two straps per pedal attached together in series.  You may also want to look at the "bear trap" style cage pedals that have a much larger surface area.  Add the two straps per side and you're in business.  The ski boots should be stiff enough that the straps won't gouge into your feet.

Get some metal and weld it all together, some wheels, some tires, a couple pieces of rubber for handle bars and pedals, a few feet of chain, and a wicker basket for the front and you're set. =) Oh and a cushion for a seat...don't want to forget the seat. Ouch... =)
