Snow!

Anyway, can we get this thread back on topic, please? Has anyone discovered revelatory images of Jesus in the snow yet?

are there any snowball fights in the offing ?

how about a ride to oxford for a snowball fight ?

Snowball fight in Victoria Park, with added benefit of East Drinks?
Just start a thread so that people can put their names on the list.

I was writing my name in the snow in green, and the image of the baby jesus came to me, but then I realised it was a Babybel.

spunksicle!

In everyone's wish to post the same advice about not leaning too much when cornering several times you all seem to have missed just what a splendid fucking word Matty has invented.

I will do what I can to get people to the Royal Inn tonight.

What the hell is is with English people and their shockingly poor measurement of snow depth. FFS.
Fixed. What the hell is it with English people and their shockingly poor spelling? ;)

vertical around corners you say? novel.

Keep the bike upright, lean your upper half ever so slightly.

When corning make sure you don't lean or you will fall over. Don't lean when cornering.

Keep your leaning to a minimum.

Try and stay upright in the snow.

by not leaning too much when going round corners.

are you getting this andy.w?

No leaning.

Got it.

I'm looking for some information on a Lean Prevention Device for my pedal bicycle. Is this the right place to ask?

Can I get those in 'spok form?

If I don't lean on the way home tonight will I be ok? Will I live to see dinner?

Ymmv

Try not to lean into corners too much but instead stay as upright as possible to maintain control.

I feel I should explain my conduct on this thread today.

I am a snowaholic, all those that know me can attest this fact, I live for the stuff. In my room right now I have a textbook on different forms of snow, and the avalanche conditions that these might cause. Its incredibly interesting- but only if you're a little weird.

I had hoped that my sheer 'no snow' callousness would cause a massive snowfall in London, alas, in my part of SW London the effort, though stellar, of the wicked pressure system that's going on to cause this mass snowfall over us, Germany and some other countries, it has not materialized.

My homeward bound commute was spent singing whilst cycling, enjoying the slushiness, and then some idiot nearly blindsided me out of a side street. This made me miserable for a bit.

I dream of the snow I heard of last year, whilst stuck in Oxford, where there was no snow, and now the fortunes are reversed, with my gf getting all the snow there, and me getting next to nothing here. Thus i'm bitter, because, as said before, I fucking love the snow.

that is all.

all those that know me can attest this fact

Clever move. No-one on here knows you, you're completely new. Your forum resumé is as white as a freshly fallen sheet of snow. Of course, in the desperately unlikely, nay, impossible, event that you should be an older forum member on a flounce alias and are trying to re-ingratiate yourself, you can ignore all this. ;)

you're a c word oliver, you know that.
a germanic tolkein loving c word.
I've had a really boring job that I'll be leaving soon, and then the forum can go back to life without me.

How about skids then?

I got some pretty good locks taking a shortcut from north to south across kensington palace gardens, got a few small downhills there with no gritting :)

Today was fun untill some Nigeria who had never seen snow before rearended me as he wasn't quite paying attention :(

Very polite as ever, Oliver. I just think he's a dick. Not that there any older - or former - forum members who would fit that category. Oh no Sirree...
