This one might seem a little odd on the list but cycling in the winter is a nightmare for any cyclist, so knowing how to make your tyres ice and snow proof is a great knack to learn. And Green Cupboards share with us just how easy it is…

Using a pair of scissors and some standard plastic zip ties which cost next to nothing, you simply wrap the zip ties around your tyre and then secure and, cut them into place. They will now be able to grip to icy roads!

Note: We would recommend using black zip tyres so they’re not as easily seen.
