I'm a mountain biker at heart, but I enjoy the long hilly roads just as much.

comment At what time of year can I buy a bicycle for the best price?
I'd add that if you DON'T want the newest stuff, it's the best time as well. These guys want to get rid of the older models so they can have new stuff all over the place. It should be pretty easy to bargain some excellent deals at this time of the year.

comment At what height should I have my seat on a road bike?
For the setting back part: check the back of the seat post, sometimes there are some height marks (like every millimetres or so).

comment How Strong is my road bike?
Watch this: youtube.com/watch?v=5z1fSpZNXhU (trials-ish riding with a carbon road bike). It doesn't answer your question, and it doesn't mean road bikes are tanks, but I'm just saying they aren't made out of glass either.

comment Where can I buy a wide range of used bike parts online?
"I know of an Ebay site" ? Do you mean an eBay seller? Because there is plenty of second hand bike stuff on eBay. I would recommend it.

comment How to make studded tires
Interesting idea, but zip ties break pretty quickly when stressed in cold temperatures. I've used some to quick-fix snow shoes and they barely lasted 10 minutes.

comment Is there a All-In-One Bike that I can use for several types of riding?
While you certainly can ride a cyclocross bike off road, you're pretty much limited to fireroad-ish type of trails. There are pretty good all-in-one roadies and all-in-one mountain bikes, but an all-in-one covering both is perhaps asking too much.
