While it might seem more dangerous to ride a bike in the icy conditions that we’re experiencing, FMFT can now confirm that the danger actually comes from not riding, and therefore running for a bus.
Running last night I slipped on ice and picked up the kind of bruised and cut elbow that everyone assumes I got from falling off a bike, rather than walking down the road. Stay safe out there and on two wheels.
Talking of safety we’ve also seen a report that confirms that it’s actually better to ride in the same direction as traffic on a road. So that’s good to know. I’m often tempted to ride the wrong way along roads, especially when there are lorries coming the other way.
Finally, if you’re still struggling for a present for the cyclist in your life, how about these ideas for a mixture of interesting bikes to offer.
