Default My latest invention: Bicycle Tire Chains

Everybody knows about tire chains. I'd like to see how they're specified,
especially the "T" where the transverse chains attach to the
circumferential ones.

My wild idea is tire chains for bikes. I used to live in Minnesota, in
an apartment that was within bike distance to work. In the winter, I
couldn't bike in the snow. But there are dedicated bicyclists who might
like something like bike tire chains, to drive the bike in adverse
conditions.

The design is trivial, but I'd have to specify what chain, the "T"
connections, and some kind of connector that's got length compliance, to
accommodate variations in tire diameter and etc.

So, any suggestions on a specific chain, some kind of "T", and a connector?

Thanks,
Rich
