I commuted to Watford this morning, about 8 miles from my house. Like most are saying the main roads are fine just the backroads are a bit icey. I find it much better riding brakeless fixed in the snow/ice, you can feel straight away if you're going to slide out when you lock your legs whereas with a brake on my 24 I found once you've pulled the lever it's normally too late. Keep vertical.
