How have people been affected by the recent weather? What could be done to make your cycling better in these conditions? What tips have you for coping?

My means of coping, once the fresh snow has been compacted down to a slippery mass, is to don wellie boots, grab a couple of walking poles (I use Highlander Arran poles which can be set to walking stick height and used as such) and set off on foot...

The picture (below) from the Reading Cycling Club website certainly gives the impression that Adrian's out on his bike in the snow, but, perhaps, Adrian, in addition to your wellies and walking poles, you also wear a cycle helmet because a simple fall is the very thing for which it's designed?

Yes, a cycle helmet is useful for the numerous silly low speed spills on ice, but I don't use wellies and walking poles for cycling.
Helpfully the helmet keeps my thin woolly hat on my head too.

Good to see, in the recent snow still ,a few hardy cyclists mobile. I thought, for a nearly 60 year old, I was doing well till, in Broad street, I was overtaken by a young man riding one-handed holding a cup of coffee in the other!
