[Closed] Anyone happen to have a photo of their bike covered in snow or ice?

Any good? You should be able to download a relatively hi res version by clicking the image and finding the download button on picasa.

Definite contender. Thanks cp.

Any others?

I'd gladly take alternatives on the theme: cold miserable looking cyclist, frozen helmet, bleak snowscape with bike etc

any good?

Blimming heck!! Some crackers there.

Thanks you lot, I knew there'd be a few! (I got more on email too!) 😆 😀

I'm planning on posting a "Keep Commuting Through The Winter" style challenge on Endomondo, using whichever photo I pick to illustrate it.

I'll post on here when I've set it up (prob in a couple of weeks when the weather gets worse and the clocks change)

(I'd set up a "Keep MTBing through the winter" challenge but I feel that would be a little hypocritical given how much proper riding I do these days! So someone else can do that one)

There are but I'd rather use a pic from someone who has given me permission, so I thought I'd just ask you lot.

And as usual you've come up trumps (and made me laugh) 😀
