On Friday cycling home in the snow and ice, my wheels slipped from under me and I cracked my head on the road.
For the first time in a lifetime of cycling I was actually glad I was wearing a helmet!
So I'm not sure about promoting cycling in the snow unless you've actually got the right kit it can be bloody dangerous.
Cheers

Dear fellow cyclists,
I take this opportunity to share with you a new insight for cycle campaigning.
Out on my mountain bike this morning (sadly the server won't allow me to attach a photo), I noted the value of the mechanical simplicity and tremendous traction of bikes, versus the turmoil of cars on treacherous roads.
May I encourage you all to take to your bikes in this snowy weather and show the British public the alternative, superior means of travel.
Best wishes,
Sam Johns
