This time last year the lanes were already like a slide in a water park.
Now which line should I take?
Love this one in the dark :shock:

OT-64 ? Then you wouldn't need to bother with the slippery roads.0

cheap tyres off ebay and put screws in them, with a length of gaffa to stop the screw head puncturing the tyre"I get paid to make other people suffer on my wheel, how good is that"

Work a treat whenever I need some "information". Combine it with a bucket of water and you have a pretty decent torture setup. Then again, you're from Glasgow, so why am I telling you?0 -

Even had ice on the road (well a bit of frost) outside my house this morning. Obviously the London heat island doesn't quite stretch out as far as zone 5.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

All the roads have turned into thick sheets of ice, i'm not even going to take the spike tyres out on that, no way.Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.

Not that I'm suggesting or advising riding on that, but I would have thought those conditions would be perfect for the spike tyres.
A constant surface of ice for the spikes to dig it to sounds like ideal conditions.FCN 3: Raleigh Record Ace fixie-to be resurrected sometime in the future

Was that caused by someone using warm water to clear their car windows? :twisted:
Only kidding. Couldn't resistNone of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.0
