    You my friend are a NUTTER

    Cycling in snow is just asking for trouble, you have cars going about like pinballs and the rooms with snow and ice that provides your tyres very little grip.

    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.

    The only trohble I had (like howard said) was visability. I didn't WANT to cycle. I had to have my hood up because the snow litterally snowed on my head, and froze to it. It was THAT cold, but I had no other way of getting back .

    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.

    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.

    A couple of stupid schoolkids nearby just laughed and walked off, my Dad gave them a right bollocking, too right! Youth of these days...

    Never said it was funny, but I do think your nutz to try cycling in conditions like this. Walking seems to be the safest option in these conditions or fall back to public transport or a car.

    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

    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!!!!
