Well, despite the snow falling pretty thick and fast on Wednesday, the binmen turned up and collected our rubbish, recycling and kitchen waste pretty much on time! I was impressed. There were no trains however, so I spent a day working from home.
Today, riding in was fine up until Clapham Common where a thin cleared trail in the slush got thinner and thinner and thinner as I approached the little jiggle at the end of the cycle path where it goes left and then right on a slight downhill slope. I approached this at absolute tippy-toes speed, thinking to myself "I'm such a wuss!". Cleared it safely, stopped at the junction, heard a metallic crash and turned around to see another cyclist sliding towards me on his arse. So I guess the caution was merited.
I'll be glad when all this slippery stuff has gone. I have no real trouble riding in the rain.
