Was alright, apart from the random bits of ice trying to kill me

With some satisfying noises...

A very dry frost between Edinburgh and South Queensferry, so not very icy at all, and actually two parts of the cyclepath had been gritted. First time I have seen parts of the River Almond start to freeze over. So it was lush, and no knobbers!

Just went out, Smashed my boys into the saddle, Broken saddle rails and now walking like John Wayne..
Just the usual commute for me
A few years ago when we had bad snow and ice in Edinburgh for weeks I had great fun commuting on my MTB with ice spike tyres. I was doing bank work IE zero hours and got loads of shifts as the car drivers couldn't get to work but I could. great fun overtaking cars and using mounds of ice for jumps.
I always commute by bike no matter the weather. Just make sure its the right bike and tyres
Had Gravdals fitted despite no ice today, usual commute in and steady pace hill reps on the way home.
Tomorrow could be fun commuting and later on delivery, but at least it will be dry.
I had the same experience commuting into Edinburgh during that heavy snow a few years back. A71 to the west was gridlocked with a 10 mile queue of traffic doing 3 miles an hour. I took the deserted back roads and had a lovely, quiet ride through deep powder on 28mm Marathons (without studs).
However, I'm a firm believer in studded Schwalbe Winters when it gets icy.
