Doughnuts in the snow

[Auntie Helen]

Uncle James and I have just been out for a little play on the snow and ice in the lane next to our house. Unfortunately I wasn't filming when he managed to roll his bike (he was fine, just a small tear in his new jacket!) but there were a couple of amusing moments. Enjoy!

Nice. It just makes me wish I wasn't at work!

After several trips into the hedge, Uncle James expects to be mending some more punctures tomorrow (he did one for me today).

Outrageous! I've never seen cycling like it. Bl&&dy numpty cyclists!

I hasten to add that I was being much more circumspect and ladylike on my trike. I did some amusing emergency stops where I just slid along but the trike felt safe and controllable pretty much the whole time - unless you did something stupid (like using only one brake or going too fast). I never went into the hedge or rolled over, of course, being ladylike. And boring!

Somewhere in London, on the Beautiful South CycleChat ride from Richmond towards Walton. Sorry I can't be more specific but my knowledge of London is very poor!
