On Sunday afternoon while returning home from Church, I passed through Airdrie Alberta on highway Two. Airdrie is just north of Calgary Alberta. It was snowing with about 3 inches already on the road with awful driving conditions. The temp around 0C (32f). To my surprise, coming up the north bound ramp and entering the highway was an airhead hack. The rig was two wheel drive, older, and great looking! He was moving at a good rate without much traction loss. I tried to get along side but the road conditions prevented me from getting a good look. As I marveled at this intrepid traveler, a black lab poked his head up from inside the hack. What a view. Anyone know this traveler?

I ride mine in the snow.
I only have one wheel drive though.

Years ago in New Englad I had a /2 with Globe hack. I found the one-wheel drive a little dicey in snow deeper than a couple inches and the lack of a third brake made stopping on icy roads pretty interesting.
I wish I'd never sold it.

Your right about that. It doesn't go all that great in deep snow. Even having a brake on the hack, it's still a little dicy stopping on icey roads.
It does make for an interesting ride though.
