Failed U-Turn resulted in my bike on its side :(

Of course it is, but there ain't much chance of 'majority of vehicles' as at that time of the morning theres sod all on the road but you!!

Which is why, when it really sets in, I leave the bike at home, and find alternate transport..very sensible I prefer my plastics on my bike in tact, and me
I watch the weather very carefully, don't like to be caught out after a 12 hr night shift. If its the day shift, if my back yards frozen, theres no chance of getting on the road, as YC has found in recent months.
I don't like playing with frozen mini roundabouts at all.

I can't imagine any time I would ride the bike in icy conditions so I'm with you on that one chick....sensible all the way

I'll be getting a winter bike especially for when it's icy because next winter my commute will increase from the current 7 miles to 30 each way. I think I'll be getting one of those Saab 9-3 TDi bikes with four wheels and a roof.
