I finally had the chance to cycle in the snow with my Surly Long Haul Trucker. What can I say, it is sooo easy.
I have done my fair share of cycling in the snow and snow storms where I couldn’t see further than 50 metres ahead. Quite often I had to stop to remove the snow out of the wheels and away from the brakes. The most “fun” to ride on is when there is one layer of snow that have plenty of tracks from people moving about on bicycles …

This is a picture of our trip to Wales this coming weekend.
2 passengers, via Birmingham to Wales with 2 bicycles on public transport and back.
Great value for these ticket Euston to Machynlleth and back for 56 GBP for two people with bicycles and 28 tickets.
The return leg is 19 GBP for two, goes via Shrewsbury, but tickets from Shrewsbury were 112 GB, eh?

Oh well still managed to get to Kings X nice and early. Because we took off with plenty time to spare just to be safe. And for once the tube was running with a good service, as the tannoy kept telling us.

… and me just don’t get on.
The longer I’m away from it the more I hate it. Riding a bike in London is just much better, short cuts off the busy roads, seeing spring springing, wind in your hair(ok not that one for me but you get the drift) and meeting other people, whom aren’t p’ed off either, with a smile on their face, it must be the spring sun and riding a bicycle. And to top it off I always know how long a journey will take me, …
