I became one at the begining of Feb. I will not cycle in the frost. A friend came down due to black ice two weekends ago whilst out cycling with his wife. Broken shoulder, hip and leg FFS. :banghead: Six weeks in a wheelchair as he can't use a crutch. I lost my cycling mojo for a while. Hope to be back on the bike tomorrow. Stay safe everyone.

Yikes, I hope he heals well and Gets Well Soon!
 
Glad I haven't, it took a colleague 2 hours to get home today but my bike and I managed in less than 30 minutes, despite being a bit slippery. That's an hour and a half to preen and gloat while nursing a couple of pints in his absence. Priceless.

I've been trying to be a fair weather cyclist but the weather keeps catching me out, I've got a car now so if its raining in the morning I'll take the car, unfortunately I've been caught out several times recently, dry mornings then p****** down at home time.:wacko:
 
The last few days the rain has got to me a bit; I've thougght about how nice it would be to be a fair weather cyclist. I then think about how expensive cars are and how much I hate driving & soon remember I'd much rather be a wet cyclist than a miserable motorist.
