Further, the lower base portion 26, 36 of each ski link bracket 20, 30 contains a set of ski member holes 28, 38. The ski link brackets 20, 30 and the foot pegs 50, 52 attach to the frame 70 of a standard bicycle which includes a front wheel mount 72, a rear wheel mount 74, and a wheel cranks mount 76. In order to convert the standard bicycle into a snowbike 60, the front and rear wheels are removed from the front and rear wheel mounts 72, 74, and the wheel cranks are removed from the wheel cranks mount 76. The ski link brackets 20, 30 are then secured to the frame 70 by attaching the upper portions 22, 32 of the ski link brackets to the wheel mounts 72, 74 of the frame by inserting the axles 73, 75, through the axle holes 24, 34 in the ski link brackets. The foot pegs 50, 52 are then attached to the wheel cranks mount 76.
