Rode to work, the last 5 miles were fine. The first half mile was on ungritted road where the snow had all been compacted. It was bizarre...the rear-end was constantly wiggling and sliding and otherwise misbehaving, but never really felt out of control. When I finally got back onto real roads I couldn't get my head around what was going on when my tyre was actually gripping again ;)

Tried and fell at the end of my road.

I had the option to stay at home or take the bike to work. So I took the bike to work and to be honest I didn't find it too bad. Had 2 very close drops but just managed to keep it off the floor. If anything it was worse coming back because it was more slippy because of the slush.

I can say I've done it now so I won't be doing it again. :D

Of the eleven who have used the bike today how many have got safely home without incident?
Do you live in the South East?

Just curious because you are a lot braver than me in our local conditions
[Essex] and it seems to have varied depending where you are in the country

Did I technically use the bike or not? Since I could not actually get onto the road...

I tried to ride, got half a mile and was forced into bottling it due to Suzuki's rear brake levers being made out of cheese.

I'm still at work, and it's snowing. Still a light dusting here (maybe 2inches in some places?). The bike looks pretty in the car park. I want more snow before 11pm!!

I'm in North Wales.
