Have had enough of the tube already - roads seem dry & forecast is good - should be ok to get back on the saddle tomorrow??
You guys with/against me?!

…posted that on the tube on the way home thinking it had thawed to the same extent outside central London - but still pretty treacherous further out… chooo-choob for the rest of the week methinks…
:crazy:
I was just outside for a walk and I think it’s gotten worse. The fog/damp in the air is freezing on the surface, and it’s very slippery already. I’ll be leaving the bike home.
Ill be making that decision at approximately 07:30 tomorrow morning No earlies til the new year! woohoo!!
ya, good point about the fog - won’t help… choooooob it is…
supposed to get a little milder (…or less cold at least) tomorrow evening, so might do a quick ‘nip into work’ on xmas eve on 2 wheels…
I’m dreaming of using the DRZ
Train for me. I’ve just been outside for a look and the road is like a mirror of shiny black ice. I’d rather suffer the indignity of travelling cattle class than further indiginities at the NHS…
same here… another day on the sardine express! :ermm:
I couldn’t handle the tube after the previous three journeys…so decided I was defo’ on the bike this morning…
Not a great move, worse day of the lot I reckon…ice everywhere and now have serious “pinch” marks
on my seat…:w00t:
At least it has been raining in SE london, so some of the ice seems to have gone…
It’s supposedly going to rain this evening/tonight & remain above freezing through tomorrow - should improve conditions quite a bit??
Rode in from Croydon this morning, no probs. The street where I live was a bit icy but the main roads were fine, no ice I could see or feel any evidence of.
It was a particularly good ride in as it allowed me to test the new switch I got on Saturday for the Oxford heated grips. Worked a treat. Very happy
Normally they would refuse to work on frosty mornings. My bike cover was frozen solid this morning so they definitely wouldn’t have worked if I hadn’t swapped the switches over.
Problem now is I need to wash all the salt off the bike bike tomorrow, then every week until Spring :crazy:
the ice may be meltign now as the temps are around 2 degrees…soon as it gets dark the temps will drop again and everything will re-freeze up, lots of black ice!
be carefull.
1 st day not gone in looks like im on the bike tomorow grate
well my road is all clear and the bike starts up so unless it drops alot tonight and freezes everything up again its on the bike tomorrow!!
I was walking out on a sheet of ice so gingerly and careful. Next foot forward and I found myself sitting on the ice wondering how I got there. A bunch of teenage yoofs were giggling thinking it was funny.
It was! But I still didn’t know how I got there, especially since I was so careful.
When you talk about the saddle, are you talking about your rocking horse? Yes - stay indoors. Yes yes yes!
Or take the tube. There’s so much unpredictable black ice out there…
i think you should’nt go for that, and finally its uptp you dude:D
Public transport for me. Stay safe y’all.
