I went cycling with my dad (I act as his domestique) and a few of hi pals, I think I lowered the average age of the bunch by about 30 years
Anyway, one of the geezers on the ride was from Norway - he spok excellent English - and was telling us about how he enjoys cycling i the snow with specially adapted snow-tyres on his bike
Apart from the manky weather (it was like cycling through fog for th whole ride) the only downer was my seat pin coming loose during a smal climb. My saddle canted backwards just as I sat back down and nearl caused me to do an impromptu "wheelie" - much to the amusement of th old guys (whom I strongly suspect loosened it in the first place in moment of devilry)

Great fun. It's when you have ridden most of the way up something very steep and slippery, then decided that this is silly and you would be better off walking, only to find that you can't stand up and so end up sliding down the hill with the bike.
