Response to [Not Responding] :
Forecasts have been vaguely forecasting snow around the place. Any sign of it near you? Here in the Peak District I cycled (on 2 wheels) home in snow at 4p.m., decided - without having to think too hard - to take the trike to work this evening, and have just got home again. It's stopped snowing, but there are a few inches lying nicely and it'll probably freeze overnight. So I'll be doing the shopping on the trike tomorrow! -- Mark, UK.

My (top-ish) end got about 3/4" that is now turning to slush, so if it freezes overnight it'll make tomorrow morning quite interesting. It's brilliant when it does snow heavily, though - all the cars go bumper to bumper on the major arteries, leaving all the minor roads blissfully quiet (last winter, for example, I rode into work and thought most people were staying home that morning until I hit the A57.

Snow is lying about 3+cm deep outside my house near Coalville, Leics, but thawing rapidly off the trees. It's getting colder, though, so there could be solid ice about tomorrow. I've collected No.2 sprog from Sheffield today (by car). It took me about an hour to get through the city, in that almost stationary bumper-to-bumper stuff mentioned elsewhere, then the snow started just before I hit the M1, and accompanied me all the way home in the dark. Horrible. -- Martin Bulmer |

Upon the miasma of midnight, a darkling spirit identified as Andy
Leighton gently breathed: Some snow in Peterborough, but it is quite localised as there is none in Crowland 8 miles to the north. It is also big wet flakes and they aren't settling. I cycled to work today for the first time in a while, dry and not to cold on the way in, but when I came out to come home again it was freezing and sleeting. Thoroughly miserable ride through the city centre ensued, with brakes at about 25% of normal due to the combination of frozen fingers and wet rims. As I crossed the footbridge over the A58 a couple of cars went past with an inch of snow on their roofs, so it wasn't far away. Once I got through the city and started the climb to the house it seemed to warm up, or perhaps that was just because I was working harder and moving more slowly through the air. One good thing came of it though - a while back I asked here about saddle heights and made an adjustment as a result, which certainly helped. Last week I was riding the bike with my New Rock boots on (huge Goth boots with lots of metal and 2" thick solid rubber soles), so I raised the saddle a bit more to compensate for the extra distance to the pedals. Today I was wearing baseball boots with 1/4" soles, and I forgot to lower the saddle - and found in fact it was an even better ride than before - I didn't use the smallest chainwheel at all and kept wishing I'd a larger one than the max I've got (this is a cheap MTB). Next year I think I'll investigate the gearing options, if today's experiences bear out. The fastest I can sensibly pedal the bike just now is 18mph, would be nice to cruise faster than that on the level, againsterlies permitting. -- - Pyromancer Stormshadow. http://www.inkubus-sukkubus.co.uk -- Pagan Gothic Rock! http://www.littlematchgirl.co.uk -- Electronic Metal! http://www.revival.stormshadow.com -- The Gothic Revival. |
