What do I use on the way to work tonight? Think I might use my fairing as a snowplough.

Takes some pictures of it and post them here for we can see the bad snow.

Only about an inch here last night but its thawing now. Rubbish.

Had probably six inches here in York - went shopping yesterday in it just for fun (on old yellow bike not the trike). Not sure which i'll ride to work tomorrow...

Roads were clear by the time I left. Don't think the trice mini would have coped with it anyway. Wheels are on the small side.

I rode my bike too this morning - just got in. Main roads cleared by traffic, but had to walk the last bit on a less used road, and through the car park... bike a better choice than trike I think as you can filter through stuck traffic better.

I rode my mountain bike today (as it has the winter tyres on). What it doesn't have is a rear mudguard (as the bolts were too short for it after I put the rack on) so I had a very mucky jacket on when I arrived home this evening.

I have the longer bolts I need now to fit the mudguard, so if I need the winter bike tomorrow I'll quickly fit it back on before heading out to work. I'm hoping there'll be no ice tomorrow though so I can take the Pashley instead.

Strangely enough when I came to get my bike this evening to go home the snow revealed it was the only bike to have been parked at the building all day...

I've been astonished at the number of colleagues this year still cycling in to work pretty much whatever the weather. Last winter I was one of only maybe two or three in the bike shed during the coldest weather, but this year my bike is one of maybe half a dozen every day without fail.

The impression I get is that maybe 2/3rds of us cycle mainly to save money. Maybe 1/3rd of us cycle for the enjoyment of it. Last year I would have said the proportion was the other way around. The numbers in the summer were a lot larger this year than last too.

Two years running of no pay rises seems to have done wonders for cycling in our company!

Reminds me of this famous contraption:
