I often ride to work; when it's above zero and not raining, like today.

I used the joys of public transport yesterday. 55 minutes instaed of 15 although most of that was stood at the station.

Today was fine though.

Was very icy on any minor un-treated roads. Had to do a U turn after about a mile on one such road, nearly filled me shorts. Evil or Very Mad Still managed a good hour before work.
