Ride home with me (photos)

tallsam [quote]hippy No way I'm stopping during my commute! I'll die. :)

I only stopped at lights and for traffic to clear.[/quote]

Yeah but I'd be gunned down for taking photos as an anti-terrorist measure.. ;-)

lpg Yeah, i remember when it snowed. I just finished building up my bike the night before but i didn't have any brakes to fit, but fck it i HAD TO RIDE.
Got as far as the end of my road before i changed my mind. Perhaps if i had a fat tyred mountain bike, i wouldn't've minded so much. but 700x23's - madness. hope you didn't injure yourself, hippy.

Nah, there were a few sketchy moments and I already had a dodgy wrist but it was very cool (literally!) to be out in the white blanket.
The snow covers a lot of the crap.. makes it look like the London I'd imagine as a kid reading Christmas tales or Oliver Twist or something. :)
Snow is still an exciting phenomena for me. I've only seen it maybe 5 times now and only saw it falling a year or so ago in Prague for Xmas.

the snow is nice, but when you hit the ice you have to worry about!

WoRd to the snow. It was not bad to ride on and it was only really back streets that where covered main roads where clear. I only fell off once and that was on a bike lane.

Now with video and French HipHop soundtrack!

Enjoy.

It'd be nice to have done a mounted camera version but it was a spur of the moment thing so I just held it all the way home.

Also it's 2x speed cause it'd be boring otherwise and I had to get it under 10 minutes to go onto Youtube.

Sorry mate, I was getting motion sickness after a minute :P

Besides, it reminds me of Melbourne and that reminds me of warmth which reminds me of iced coffee which I can't get here.. ;)
