Icy conditions in UK

[Greg Truby]

Hi Richard, glad to hear you're okay. But seriously, bicycling on ice? Are you mad? I'm glad you got away with naught but a knot.

As a sidenote, we have drizzle and 27°F (-3°C) and 30 mph winds (50 kph) so yeah, about busted my tuckus going across the street to pick up the mail. I did make sure to check up and down the street a good distance before trying to cross lest I end up **** over teakettle in the middle of the road - seein's ta how folks might have a bit of trouble stopping.

At Barry - LOL (seriously, made me chuckle out load, specially when I considered what he'd do if the helmut remained lodged...)

I'm torn, part of me feels bad for you. And the other part of me wants to know what on earth you were thinking?

In his neck of the woods there were too many abandoned cars in the road to drive to the station I guess...

...why didn't you adopt the contortionist position to protect your bonce?

Come to think of it, the caption for that image could be: "Hey, where'd my bike go?"

Seriously though, sounds like a couple of nasty accidents! I hope Richard and Dom are both feeling somewhat better now.

Get better soon, Richard.

I also hope that none of the tinnies you were carrying were lost or damaged.

I guess the open one was.
