Winter bike / Snow bike thread

Looks like a Snowbleplough.

Crap, we got more snow now - I hate fresh snow on top of old snow - you can't see the hidden suprises underneath!

That bike is the bollocks, Ed.

Ticks all my boxes.

Woooooooooooo yeah!
I got a snow day!
No school for me!

This morning - damn phone won't expose properly for snow.

The Holdsworth got promoted above shopper bike duty for the day. Wish I'd put my spare cx tyres on, but turns out you can run gatorskins at 40 psi and get away with it.

Sort of, but it's getting worse. Many areas iced over.

Snow I can do, but the ice today was just bit much.
Surprisingly the icy cycling lane finished when I crossed the Lea Valley towards Clapton.

ps. skidding in the fresh snow which is covering icy road is lush!

EEI what mudguard is that on the back?>

Look like these:

I think I spoke too soon, just came over the crest of a hill in the dark and the whole road was black ice! Safe to say I went down, pretty hard! Luckily no one was around to see haha. Take care on the roads people!

A little village called West Chiltington about 35/40 miles south of London, not far from Horsham and Dorking. It was really liberating, had loads of people telling me I'm stupid trying to ride about but I was one of the few to actually get about this morning which is liberating!

Rural...good work but bad luck on the spill!

It does look as if he's in Krisice.

That almost sounds like a Polish place name.

Punmungous.

Where's that?

I've just been to London Fields for the Snow Skid.
Epic shit with 26x1.9" tires.
My beatrickster is the perfect snowinter bike.

i walked to work today - felt like a failure :(

Got to know your limits.

No point slithering half way to work and breaking your collar bone.

When the weather is better, ride twice as much.

That is your penance, my child...

Broken collar bones happen when you have time to throw an arm out.
On ice its all about the mashed hip.

Been riding in London all week. Stick to the main roads and avoid your usual rat runs.

Car drivers seem to be lot nicer to cyclists when the conditions are like this.
I've been riding well into the road and keeping away from gutters.

Nearly finished the Gazelle, the snow came at just the right time,

What an amazing view! Any chance of uploading it at even higher res? It would make a stunning desktop background!!!

loving the snow! it makes the pavements feel like a trail ride! hope it stays for a while
