Im on a hybrid. Only use it for cycling to work, havent been on it in prob 2 months due to project changes etc, but plan on getting back on tomorrow. But its getting quite brisk (No snow yet in London, just cold), and my tyres are std road hybrid tyres. not great on wet let alone slush.

The big suzuki just wallowed the whole way to work

I'm glad I have the wee scooter as a backup to the Triumph. It's a bit more manageable on the slippy stuff. Would rather fall off the scooter than a push bike too with the armoured jacket etc.

This was this morning at home. I had to jump start the Honda as she's been sitting a couple of weeks. But I was busting to try out the new snow tyres. The improvement in braking was impressive over toyos last year.

 

[svensktoppen]

Seriously cant be much fun for cycling in those conditions pabbers ?

It is fine on the MTB. Took the road bike today though, thinking it would be clear once on the main road. On slicks, very "interesting", lol

Full wool outfit, gloves, hat, and winter boots on today, like a Michelin man on wheels

I hate snow. It is fine on ski slopes, but anywhere else it is just a royal pain

Saxo-man, those look like proper tyres!

 

[tbdevpaul]

You got some proper snow there saxoman . Whats the tyres this year ?

 

[saxo_man]

Those are Dunlop Winter Sport M3 tyres for the Honda. Got em cheap online and fitted to two spare rims I had lying around. I've never had snow tyres before and enjoyed my run into work today, all 1 hour and forty five minutes of it

 

[tbdevpaul]

Didnt take us any longer today, road was very quiet the whole way in as we are working 10-6 at the moment

 

[Boydie]

I was actually quicker into work this Monday compared to other Mondays

[Chris666]

[adam1942]

Snowing again here in newtownabbey ice with snow wont be good in the morning. seen some boy lose it on a roundabout this morning in a Honda Jazz ended up up the side enbankment (Ballymena) carful folks

 

[Souleh]

Was fairly ploughing down at the merchant last night but too wet to lie. Whats belfast like today?

 

[ChrisL]

Im in work ... How bad is it or going to get round Belfast/Newtownabbey area?

 

[Pumesta]

Was raging this morning the radio said that the Craigantlet hills were treacherous. So got up early to give myself plenty of time, there was almost no snow whatsoever on the hills, was in work near an hour early

 

[stevieturbo]

The most treacherous thing in the snow, is idiot drivers !

Some jams on the roads this morning on the radio, and there was barely any snow on the damn roads !

 

[tbdevpaul]

Totally agree stevie. Everyone driving along nice tonight and then it started to snow and all the brakes went on instantly and down to 35 on the motorway

 

[Gaz]

To be fair, I'd rather have people going too slow than too fast when it comes to snow. There was certainly plenty lying on the dual carriageway this morning when I was on my way to work, and unlike those of us on this forum who *think* we know how to drive, a large majority of drivers aren't quite sure how to react to a skid or judge braking distances in the snow. Sitting a little longer in queues won't kill anyone.

glengormley didnt!!!

no it didnt fs half an hour to get from glengormley onto sandyknowes fs muppet drivers annoy me i think people should have to take skid pad test before being alowd to drive in snow fs
