I like the idea of bike plows, but the amount of snow they can move is easy to drive through. It's the three foot high wall of compacted snow shoved into my driveway by the road plows that's in my way. I guess I could bikeplow all night so it doesn't build up! It's been too warm in NY lately to get any significant snow, so I'm mostly dealing with mud.

Mom kept complaining about the compacted snow the plows shoved into her driveway, so I cleared off the cars, shoveled the street, sidewalk, and driveway New Year's Eve, and started again New Year's morning, when two guys from Church helped--by moving the snow from our driveway into the street and sidewalk. A neighbor used her snowblower to blow snow from the sidewalk into the street and onto my car. Then the plow shoved it back onto the sidewalk and driveway.

You've got to shovel it into the road so that the plow pushes it off the road... past your driveway. Keep everything just upstream of your driveway as clear as you can.

I shoveled everything onto our lawn. I am sure that we got a bit of snow from the neighbor downstream, while the neighbor upstream received less, but had I been able to shovel all of the snow that we received, the plow would not have had anything to shove onto our sidewalk.

That's why tire chains are often used. |

Putting snow into the road is illegal, at least where I live. But I have cleared the road upstream of my driveway a few times!

Yes, but I don't see it in the bikes showed. And bike's tires are narrow.
