Braver than me
Appreciating it might be different where you are,but we have 4" of snow with ice underneath ungritted. No way is it safe for a bike here and I am even dubious about the car.
I await in anticipation for the brave to post up with the horror stories. It is still snowing here in Essex. PLEASE BE SAFE AND THINK BEFORE BECOMING A HERO AS WE DON'T ANY ACCIDENTS Last edited by Dicky Ticker; 18-12-09 at 08:06 AM. |

Do the right thing and stay safe at home, not worth the risk.

Re: Braver than me
I rode from brighton to london in similar conditions (to north london today) earlier this year. Looking back, it was not the most sensible thing to do but with care I was ok, the important thing was stoping for some food and water and to rinshe the bike down once I got off the motorway.
By all means, if you can only get anywhere by bike, then dont go out. If you have a car, use that. If you can get the bus, do that its just not a bike day out there |

Re: Braver than me
I got the bus to work. Didnt want to faff around seeing if trains were running etc. Get into london, no snow! However, even i f i wanted to get my bike out and ride, it wasnt going to happen. Getting the bike out of my garden is hard enough when dry, then i live on a hill with a t junction at the end. If i could get it onto the main road, then that would be fine, but with my luck this year, i took the safe(some whould say whimp) option

Re: Braver than me
My whole office is shut currently.
Not sure if anyone will make it in, but I know I'm nice and cosy tucked up in bed. |

Re: Braver than me
Three people asked today if I'd come in one the bike. And it got funnier each time, really!
