I ride all year.
Lat year jsut before xmas woke up one morning to thick snow.
rode the backroads using my feet as paddles and stablisers. I rode another 25 miles to work with no problems, got to the carpark at work - The roads had been gritted but the lazy cheapscate b&^%rds at work left the carpark like a ice rink!. On turning into the car park i hit a patch of ice, came off at around 2 or 3 mph! and dislocated my shoulder and was off work for three weeks and had a shit xmas. I now ride in all weather except to work!
