Yeah I rode throughout last winter, including in the snow once. Its a good laugh riding in the snow but you got to be proper careful, admittedly I did stack once as i didn't realize the steep private road i was heading into had like 4ft of snow ;) it just slid out haha

but as for the ice that's not as bad, just once again be careful, especially in the mornings and the evenings as that's obviously when ice is normally present

So yeah just be careful and your be fine :)

I would if I had to, use to ride to sixth form until it literally iced over over for 3 weeks a few years so my only other option was walk for an hour or cycle so may as well

Now I have no where to go that I can't get to on the train or walk so haven't bothered

Oh and it's in bits

Been out loads this year in the Ice,it's the only thing that made some of the lanes rideable coz its frozen hard,mind those puddles tho ha ha some still look like their water lol oops. Even on a dry day tho when nighttime comes you get this sheen on th roads and all th spilt oil rises to the surface,I was being real careful on this round about and all of a sudden both tyres let go and I was lucky to save it Once ur off road tho it's great fun,does take about 4 times longer to stop
