Riding in snow.

  1. Have long legs.

  2. Have fun.

  3. Take a hot water bottle, blanket, flask, avelanche detector, Oyster card, and a sense of humour.

When i was 17 and riding home on a cb100(:Whistling:) going across the moors to get home i packed my trousers with newspaper to absorb the pain of falling off ok you may all laugh but things like body armour were bloody expensive and besides it worked lol:w00t:

Good to know there are others who’ve just got on with it. Well done Wasp, newspaper is fantastic as a thermal layer/body armour.

After my experience today (http://londonbikers.com/forums/Topic650327-58-1.aspx), my opinion is “forget riding in the snow”.

wot this guy said. unless you have spiked tyres

It’s not that difficult, just gotta be careful. And maybe a tad peculiar.

I have thought about taking the trike out, see what it’s like in the snow. If I got a bbw to sit on the back, it might work.

I was out for hours on my little 100,in a foot of the stuff back in '82. Great fun.:smiley:

Make your own spiked tyres, bag of nails, hammer and away you go, it works…honest :stuck_out_tongue: lol

nothing wrong with riding in the snow aslong as its not loads like last month.

Being a master of procrastination this morning, bike cover still on…looks nice out thou

+1 Don’t unless you have a bike with these:

Also good for dealing with dopey pedestrians :D.

  1. Use someone else’s bike

  2. If you can’t do the above…Remove your bodywork before riding

:smiley:

:laugh::smiley:

if i had a small light low powered biek it would be huge fun tryign to ride in the snow…anythig else…forget it.

+1 im so temted not on the bird tho
