• Brockwell Park is awesome in the snow!

    We'll be in The Regent in a bit if anyone fancies a pint... :D

    I slithered down the road past Brockwell Park this morning; exchanged grins with some folks carrying a tea tray and a pair of skis into the park.

  • just had a text off a mate, people snowboarding down primrose hill thats something i thought i would not see in london. lots of fun to be had :)

    Thens its all round Tynans for hot chocolate and warm bagels.

  • I <3 Moots.

    But I really want a pugsley today.

    I'm off in a hour or so, and just round the corner. May swing up just to get jealous.

  • maybe its the end of the world.
    i just stuck my head out of the window and heard the sky making some pretty nasty noises.

    that's probably Andy Gray bitter about another three points for Liverpool.

  • Mal and I just went and made snow angels in the park and caned each other with snowballs.. much fun.. now back to cough work.

  • I borrowed the Blue MTB and road that home.
    thing is not suited to flat ground.
    Check out the rear snow tri spoke on my road bike.

    Pic from the ride home

  • Just popped out to buy one of those neck and head thingys from Cotswold as I couldn't find mine this morning. Cotswold is shut. An Outdoor shop closed because of snow? Wtf?

    i would say your work is done ;)

    interesting ride in this morning. gonna leave work whilst it is still light and might invest in some overshoes. looking forward to getting back on the bike.

  • Is that a fixed moulton? How well does i work with the suspension.

    It was a bit hairy today - small wheels don't like slippy, but under normal conditions its a great ride fixed, although I don't think you'd want to be skidding it - the suspension tries to keep the back wheel on the road so it would be difficult to unweight it with enough control.

  • Snow seems to be getting wetter now - it'll all be gone in half an hour.

    On Hackney Marshes they're snowboarding with kite-power!

  • made it in from e10 to victoria, three wipeouts and 4 direct hits from the yoof with snowballs.....

  • Started again, quite heavy now in Ealing.. will be out your way (east end hipster scum) in an hour or so.. you heard it here first folks.. the westisbestweatherchannel.cunt.uk

  • i watched the super bowl at the sports cafe last night and it was quite a scene when the huge number of drunk people there spilled out into 4 inches of snow at 4 am.

    somehow ended up at a friend's in fulham and now it's time to make the trek from here to hackney downs! was mildly nervous til i looked at this thread, and i'm glad i've got those tires that people like to laugh at. these pictures look great =)

  • I was on that this morning. 2 pairs of socks, then bags, then cycling shoes. No problems! Fingers, however...

    Me too, been at work in Holborn all day (where it's snowed non-stop) but being allowed home to work now. Shouldn't be hard to fit in a detour through Brockwell on the way home.

  • I had 2 pairs of gloves on this morning but my thumbs still felt like they were going to drop off when I got to work, maybe I was gripping the bars too tight? I fcking hurt though, made my eyes water as they started to warm up, pain!

  • Wore my motorbike gloves with liners in this morning. Toasty warm mitts.

  • The boss says we can go now, so look out Sarf London, JAH Tim heading home...
    Please take it easy 'pon the roads folks....
