Ok you may (or may not) be aware that there has been quite a lot of snow in the UK at the moment! Its all rather wonderful- also after having lost my keys a few days ago I haver finally sorted out a new bikelock, so I may cycle again! ![]()
Cycling in the snow, can be a bit unstable however is also immensely satisfying! It helps that I've also manged to find the perfect tape- one side has «Belle an Sebastian» and the flipside is Morcheba -excellent!
A brief account of what it's like:
Cycling through my local park, I look around and there is this amazing white landscape, while the falling snow makes it impossible to see the city around- the refrains of «Belle an Sebastian» coo gently in my ear, while the wind whips countless feathers of snow past me, against me and all around me- the world slowly becomes whiter and whiter, all enveloping in this soft cold cocoon- then I reaalise that the snow has built up on my glasses and its not as thick as all that. Its still impressive, especially for the UK.
Oooh I forgotte to mension- I got to sled to uni the other day! -admitidly it was only a short part of the way, but still!
The bandstand in my local park:

Also to give you an idea of how much snow there was- later on when I was cycling on proper roads, I almost fell off my bike as I hit the edge of a speedbump as it was submerged in snow- not visible on the surface! and due to the snow verry slippy!
--edit--
OK I just read through that and realised how badly written it is- so I've made one or two minor changes, but I'm tied, and just wanted to put something new up to celebrate the snow...
