Yeah I had to cycle home in a blizzard on Monday night at around midnight... I couldn't see where I was going. Lol
It wasn't my choice. I'd just got back from a friends house in Leeds, and my parents would have been in bed, so I couldn't ask for a lift. At that time of night/morning, there a pretty much no cars on the road, and I didn't find the road slippey at all, so I mustn' have come across anynice.Quote:

Yeah me too... I didn\'t drive incase I drunk too much, and it was DAMN COLD :(
Unlucky m8 :(
Its not nice these conditions
Still you should see some of the cyclists in edinburgh, pure nutters. One of my coworkers watched someone fall off there bike 5 times when trying to cycle. :heckle: :shocked2:
Not really that funny in this weather tbh. My Dad used to cycle to one job he had and he slipped on some black ice, fell and hit his head on the curb. If it wasn\'t for his crash helmet he could\'ve seriously, or even fatally, injured himself.Quote:

I fell sorry for your dad if he hurt himself, but I still think its nutz to take a bike out in these conditions. I have even seen some with lycra shorts on :shocked2:
Still thank good for a helmet, safety is still very important in my book and cycling in this weather is not safe in my view. But then again next to nothing is.
I vote we all stay home!!!! :D
