Conditions were 'perfect', hard packed bumpy ice with a dusting of grippy snow and occasional patches of slush. Not to mention winter wonderland type scenery :)</p> <p>Before we set off the S.O. was defiantly unsure about the idea of riding in these conditions but a nice slow and controlled crawl through the trees was all they needed to start relishing the idea of cycling again with renewed confidence. </p> <p>We weren't the only ones either, passed a cycling family on the way, which made a change from the hoards of roadies in evidence everywhere else ;)</p> <p>Oh, I learnt a lot more about bike control too! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2001#post-20925 Sun, 09 Jan 2011 15:04:01 +0000 chdot 20925@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.thestar.com/news/article/905944--everything-you-need-to-know-about-winter-cycling-in-the-gta" rel="nofollow">http://www.thestar.com/news/article/905944--everything-you-need-to-know-about-winter-cycling-in-the-gta</a> </p>
