Thought I would introduce myself and call on your collective wisdom? I am a long term London cycle commuter and some time campaigner who moved up in Autumn. New commute from Morningside to the Gyle is too short for my taste but I like the way that so far drivers seem generally less enthusiastic about trying to kill me. Anyway, my question was, assuming winter does eventually arrive, what's the one bit of kit or piece advice you would suggest for someone new to winter commuting in Edinburgh? I ride what the marketing people have in their wisdom christened an 'adventure bike' on fairly thin, slick tyres. When it snowed in London I rode in the snow but I'm particularly nervous about the prospect of ice! </p>
