I think I might walk

[MrGrumpy]

I know. Rule 5. But its howling a gale and bucketing down, or more horizontal than down.
I'm so fed up of battling headwinds and getting wet.
If it makes it more acceptable I'll go to the pub after work.

not worth it IMO, I`m usually one to prescribe the MTFU pills but with someone at my work being blown of the bike and doing some serious bone breakage I think its wise to think safety first.

since most of my 4 mile commute is uphill, it wouldn't take me much longer to walk... but seeing as most of my journey home is downhill, I'll walk with the bike if need be

Motivating myself for night shift atm, see waht its like at 7 when i need to be out the door .

Well, I rode all the way back with nothing apart from a few spots about a quarter mile from home.
Did you take the bike CK?

Yeah, I often set out for my short commute in horrid weather thinking "I'll walk the most iffy bits if needs be".
Only once in 4 winters I had to actually dismount because of the wind.
It seems my journey timings are just right

I am gambling today and going for it! The journey home could be a bit wet but it should have all blown over by 5pm,well so Mr Weatherman says anyway.....
Good luck everyone!

Careful now... that kind of talk can invoke Sod's Law.

Well amazingly I had a dry trip out and in! Result.
Hope everyone else did

With cycling I apply a different rule to other activities, only one of these factors is allowed:

Very windy
Hard rain
Cold

Two of these, and I'll run instead

Three, and I'll get a beer

I like your rule system. I think I'll adopt it, except I'll walk or catch a bus.

 

[cyberknight]

Well i ended up walking the last half mile home as the roads were sheet ice and frozen snow this morning .

Watch out for those pesky cyclists.
