the urban_djinn's GUIDE TO CYCLING IN THE SNOW

1. WEAR your woolly hat underneath your helmet. This will keep your ears warm and stop your hair getting in a catastrophic wet mess.
2. WEAR your best trekking boots, lest you get caught in a snow drift!
3. You are gonna have to compromise today and TAKE THE MAIN ROADS. Resist the usual snickets, cuts and routes that stop you having to talk to the big bad traffic. The snow will stick to the side roads and may conceal deadly black ice which will make you slip on your arse&wheels ... !
4. Since you will have to talk to the vehicular traffic today and work with its rhythm, sorry but you cannot wear your iPod today.
5. Use the red lights to your advantage - after careful checking take the chance here to get ahead of the traffic.
6. BE CHEERFUL!
7. DO NOT ride up anyone's rear end - your brakes will not be so nifty today due to the wet surfaces.
8. On arrival to the office, BREW fresh coffee and EAT Belgian chocolates! :-)
9. Good luck & enjoy!
