I need to fit a new aux belt tensioner to the daily before i drive it anywhere as the belt has less tension than a pensioners ball sack. I was going to do it this weekend but when im carless i cycle to work. I like cycling but man am i lazy, il only ever do it when im without transport. Clever dick here decides i wont fix the car for a couple weeks to get my fitness back up again.. Oh look... SNOW!! Got 5 miles to get tp work tomorrow morning and currently everything outside is white lol. Ah well should make for some intersesting riding!!
To make things worse Ive swapped from my racer to my jump bike as its got fatter tyres but the gearing is awfull so at max speed grannies will be walking faster
Anyone else stupid enough to cycle in the powder or having commuting issues?! _________________

I have in the past.
Good thing about riding in the snow is it really cleans your tyres! _________________ "A fine example of how not to build a car..."
