Snow!

in from addiscombe this morning, pretty hairy till beckenham jct then got much better on the main roads, traffic was a mess, spent the first 3-4 miles filtering

I have these on my '89 M3. I've not even taken the cover of it in this weather. Winter tyres - pah!

Ask any drivers who complain about lack of investment how they're getting on with their winter tyres. Their response will probably be something along the lines of "There's no point because it only snows properly two weeks every decade".

+1000000

Here in Norway the winter conditions are well planned for, and the roads well cleared. But I'd still give you £100 for every Norwegian who you could convince to drive to work on summer tyres for a day.

The first snow of winter, always catches a lot of people out, who have'nt switched tyres. These people catch the bus that day.

I'm still on pain killers after my accident on Sunday, and that was on metal studded tyres.

didnt bother these guys on sunday just gone:-

but then they were from up North....

where is that?

only if you're going too fast, take it easy, choose your line carefully, control your speed and snow shouldn't be a problem.

I'll bet that people in snow-covered American cities are laughing at our ineptly of riding on the snow.

Most of Europe is regularly covered in snow and still everything works (buses, trams, trains). Never heard of anyone staying home because of snow unless there were 2m or something crazy.

People should just relax and enjoy it!

yeah htfu, bloody southerners lol

i hate snow.

snow > rain

For the love of Jeebus! I DON'T DO LEAN!!!!!

Yeah, we know.

it was actively snowing during the ride.

That's so much worse than when it's snowing passively.

The Mound in Edinburgh is heated, if I recall. That's what I pay my road tax for.

What a waste of electricity..

snow > rain

+1, I'd rather ride in fluffy snow like we had this morning than rain any day.

I have yet to use them. But for the sake of £50, better safe than sorry.

Not enough where I live to warrant them, and when there was I used my bike.

weve not had much here tbh, bust backs kept me off my bike tho :-(
oh and a lack of a coat

look at those lovely gently falling flakes

I've been stuck in an office since 8.30, anyone want to update me on what the roads are like outside?

I'm hoping the answer is clear, or similar...
