Doesn't help that I've been a Quins supporter since I was 4 either

A grand cycling tradition! Including the Swan which was mentioned as the start for cycling tours

I was commuting into work at 5am on the winter ice bike , you didn't see me ? Last commute of year for me on Monday

I've just done 147Km, I saw hardly any other cyclists. Happy days

It would have been a 100 miler, but the ice was starting to form under my wheels, that's above and beyond the call of duty, so I bailed at 92 miles, that's still (nearly) a metric ton and a half, I'll settle for that

You must've gone past my old house, used to live in Warblington years ago. Impressive miles! But I guess most people are still eating stilton!

I managed a precarious 15 miles today in near freezing temps. I stuck to the gritted bus routes and went at about two thirds my usual speed. Even then i had a slow speed off when i was daft enough to try an icy side road. I saw two other cyclists in the 1 and a half hours i was out,but having said that i might see the same amount on a dry mild day.

I was commuting
Very icy here, stayed on main roads, even so I heard the silent swoosh of the studded tyres when you ride on ice.
Saw maybe another 3 cyclists at 10am, none at 7pm on riding home.

I was out in 3 degrees and sun for a 25KM trip on my scooter.

Lovely weather. But icy in places.

Yep, the route goes through Warblington. Very nice neck of the woods.

Seen loads of cyclists out over the holidays, presumably trying out a new ride/gear.

Well I am doing my "domestic commute" again today so I will see who's out - even though it's not the weekend any more. There are a few utility cyclists round here too so maybe I'll see them. There is a very old lady on a dutch-style bike who I've seen in Headcorn, I'd love to fall into conversation with her some time. It is the first properly freezy freezy day here - the pond is frozen for the first time this winter, though the puddles have been frozen before - but because it has been dry for several days we won't have the treacherousness that has kept some of you guys off the road (soz). Sun still shining!

I've got my Boardman crosstrail with me today, the roads are like ice rinks round by me at the moment.

Well there was a bit of Ice on the Puddles yesterday but seen it worse! And many cyclists out too here in in Somerset yesterday Though so cold that on the way back from a post christmas ride (to start getting those pounds off) hands so cold I was having trouble changing gear I didn't even get a sweat on it was so chilly well for somewhere like here where it usally milder

I've known a few people to question why the roads are quiet of cyclists in very cold weather. Keep riding, you'll soon find out for yourself.
