According to Mal Volio the best for snow conditions is a cyclocross bike, followed by a road bike with hard narrow tyres. MTB isn't nearly as good apparently.

Sod that,I didn't have good results the other day.A neighbour of mine just rode up our road on a heavy MTB and he seemed alright.I reckon I would have gone down like a sack of potatoes if I had tried it on my Audax.

It was icy at 7.30 when I went out to check but by the time of school it was down was just slushy on the roads. Came across a lady who had fallen very badly on the pavement though... and even walking over to her nearly fell myself... black ice at that point with a steep slope. Ambulance called to take her away.
I must admit I saw lots of cyclists and some on the pavement and I couldn't help thinking rather them than me as the pavements were definately worse.

Drove to work the last couple of days and can reveal the astounding fact that it's a waste of time.
Cycle to work 25 minutes
Cycle home 40 mins (well it is all uphill)
bike total 65
Drive to work 20 mins
Drive home 20 mins
Walk after work because I've been stagnating all day 30 mins
car total 70

I wouldn't agree with Monday 430am as it wasn't very safe.

I think he used to be Fixed Phil on C+, but anyway, a really experienced audaxer.

p.s. I was *roll eyes* at the muppet riding his MTB on the pavement today. He kept slipping and sliding and nearly coming off on all the ice, when he could have been riding on the road at pace and much better safety.

Weird,I was doing that on the road the other day.
Hey Mikey you can't call him a muppet just because he has a different unofficial and illegal riding style to you.

Probably because I was on the bus but I notice lots more of cyclist cycling on the pavement (even though they were solid ice, not to mention the other reasons), RLJ's and ninjas.
After 20 mins standing in the cold waiting (I'm usually home in less time), I think I'll take the bike again tomorrow.

Dunno,I think the most important thing is not falling off on the ice,if I do badly it could cost me my job.That's what I have got to be aware of.
Was that him Mikey?
Nice bike.
