  • A10 from N16 to the city was fine although it was hard to tell if the slush was icy or not. I assumed not and survived.
    Side roads were a bit iffy and a little cycle track cut through I use had a layer of ice with lots of holes in it, a bit like a curly wurly. Fun times.

  • Watch out for those clumps of brown stuff which have started falling from the wheel arches of cars and buses... They're damned solid and will wreck you!

  • I tried the opposite of main roads, back streets and off road routes on the 'cross bike.

    Brilliant, and the cold numbs the pain and stops the blood when you crash. Can't wait for the ride home, I should be a little drunk for that one.

  • Fuck! Fuck! you made it!!! Wait for me!! Hope to see you there!!! Ate logo amigo!!! c_c

    Dudes.... I'm soooo fucking well now.
    14 degrees max today in Lisbon, it feels like spring/summer in London.
    :D

  • Oooh I know that smell - delicious.

    (The birch, not the kitchen)

    The chipboard is an aquired taste.

    It'll buff out? Cable ties? Gaffa?

  • Its a 1999 Vectra, Im not wasting my best cable ties on it.

  • I'm heading back to London on the euston train today. Can someone reassure me there are clear roads to Bethnal green andthe black cab drivers got out of bed today

  • Cabbies are still to Bethnal Green as dog poo is to Paris pavements. You'll have no trouble there BQ.

  • Avoid the bus lanes themselves if you can, the tyres on buses seem to leave little hard packed ridges of snow that then freeze and become icy ridges of doom!

    You get this with the tracktor wheels of snowploughs. One morning you cruise right through the soft tracks, the next its like hitting steel ridges.

    Agree, best to assume the worst and aviod.

    +1, hadn't experienced these before this morning and the first time I hit some got a bit of a shock. It is possible to ride over them though, you just need to maintain forward momentum. Still not really recommended though!

    Just rode up to Farringdon in the last hour, and experienced these for the first time also. Very tricky things, becuase some are still actual slush, while others are rock-hard ridges of black ice. Amusing when misjudging one for the other.

    Also, some of the raised white and red lines have totalled iced over, as buses and other vehicles have not ridden on them as much, leaving time for water to ice over and become treachery incarnate. Avoid.

  • Snowing in 'ackney...

  • Got a bit carried away over the weekend

  • Fully awesome.

  • Today was interesting. I earned the most I have yet (at this company) despite all the ice.

    good work max. i had to banish the bone-shaker to a night outside tonight. after riding though the slush and snow, i figured the melting oily grimy snow coating most of it wouldn't look too good when it ended on the cream carpet.

  • :D
