I was thinking of a road legal quad for this time of the year, bit not sure how suitable it would be.

What an absolutely terrible idea!
Freezing cold like a bike,stuck in traffic like a car. The worst of both worlds.

Good point but the only alternative for me is a 50 minute bus journey or a two mile walk followed by a 20 minue train journey. A quad would be quicker than both and I can park it for free rather than the £14 a day for the multi storey

i disagree quads are very fun as well as practical in this weather. They are specially fun on snow .. lots of sliding fun and can pull other cars out the way

not that that expensive as well £2800 on the road Apache RLX 400
