I'm 43 but my Mum still rang me up and told me off for riding my bike to work...somethings never change eh !
Other than the side roads and a few narrow bits where slush had built up on the main roads the ride was good and even more so because there are fewer cars out...MORE SNOW PLEASE !

 

[longers]

...MORE SNOW PLEASE !

It might be on the way. Snowing in Glossop now.

Snow!

Got to work on time, site was closed at 11:00 am, now "working from home". Magic.

Only problem was I forgot to wear my cycling cap, it started snowing on the way in. Had to keep wiping my glasses.

So JtM was it you I saw yesterday morning (Tuesday 6th?) on Whitworth Street West?

 

[Downward]

No not for me.
I don't think my semi slcik skinny tyres would offer any grip at all on the slush and a lot of roads on the way to work are now compacted snow.

 

[bad boy]

I didnt chance it today my tires had no grip whats so ever, so the bike went home I put my running shoes on and decided to run in, people thought I was mad !.

 

[palinurus]

I had a Schwalbe Snow Stud up front today. Seemed good on compacted snow, nice to be a bit more secure when using the front brake. The tyre is grippy when braking, crossing ridges of compacted snow feels a bit unnerving but steering corrections have more effect.

Not today

There are at least 10 people out there now shovelling snow in an effort to get their cars out of their drives and has been since 10am. I got half way up my road before spinning into a slide so gave up and walked to the top, but it is no better there.

Maybe tomorrow.

EXCELLENT!! It's really coming down now, I think they may send us home early. Que snow ride on the trike!

Lucky blighter!!

I doubt it - I normally leave Picadilly by the Fairfield Street entrance and head in via the old UMIST campus.

There is a chap I see sometimes with an M type that seems to arrive from that direction though...

I went to work on Monday for the first time with Schwalbe Marathon Winter studded tyres. My review of their performance is here.

 

[IanWood]

Yes - slightly dissapointed that the weather isn't worse to try my new Schwalbe Marathon Winter ice stud tyres.

To be honest, the roads tend to be safer/better than the pavements and the trains are awful at the hint of bad weather.

Also bought a new merino wool top to prevent freezing...

Another potential JtM spot - were you cycling on Xmas eve on a brown Surly, wearing a red waterproof going down Sydney St (sic), Crewe at around midday!?
