I am a hanging point of frozen ice formed during winter drops. Insert a 'B' at my front and an 'E' near my end, and I turn into something with two wheels that you pedal. What am I?
Icicle
The item is an icicle, a hanging spike of ice formed by freezing water in winter weather. Adding the consonant 'B' to the beginning and adjusting the spelling to include 'E' creates 'bicycle', a pedal-powered two-wheeler. Visualizing structural additions to common winter vocabulary helps uncover the hidden target.
