No chance.Im not going to risk falling off again.I've been called an idiot more than once for cycling in today.

Today wasn't so bad on my bike - tomorrow sounds worse for commuting on the roads from the forecast I've just watched. Let's hope the buses do ok tomorrow!

Yeah buses is a key word here.Missed them today.

Is it though? Bike equals get into work when no-one else can, instead of having a day off.

It worked for Boris, humm but wasn't it his fault that no one else did

I don't think the risk is really worth it for injury BM.

Personally I stayed home on Monday, took the bus in on Tuesday and rode veeeerrrrrryyyy carefully into work today.

That seems more sensible to me than falling off on the ice.

Just walked up the pavement and it was treacherous.

Although I wasn't really amused with all the idiot jibes I received at work they had a point didn't they?

No chance of riding ON packed snow- fresh snow maybe, but prefer to keep collar bone intack, snow gone now , off on bike later for a couple.

If you had studded tyres, then your riding this week would have been fairly risk free. I don't have to work when it's like this, else I'd already have a set!

It's then only all of the other road users you have to be wary of!

Not that obvious to you as you have described cycling in hazardous conditions as "fairly risk free" just because you have studded tyres!
