It's coming down now and settling on the North Kent/Surrey border at Addington, might be with you soon.Still nothing in Kent, I was looking forward to a ride in the powder tomorrow.

I have the same problem with the hallway and my bike is consigned to the garden if I'm home during the day, fortunately I now have a warm garage to keep it in at work. I can see the need for an anti rust chain now as it happens suprisingly quickly when left outside.No Eddie
Much to Gail's delight (not!) your 906xc Tourer is still in the hall, we did put some holly on it over the Christmas period though!
This is my bike that I leave out in all weathers to test for rusting and other problems associated with the wet.

Chains do a lot of damage to both roads and tyres if the snow isn't very deep, and we don't usually get much snow in Britain. That damage is more severe when heavy vehicles like buses and trucks are involved, their tyres are far from cheap and there are safety implications for damaged tyres on buses.is there a reason at all why city buses dont have snow chains available....to keep local transport operational?
Last year I wondered why the e-bike season starts at the end of May. The Sled Dog Association of Scotland - It might be worth fitting a cytronex kit to one of their wheeled chariots to help the huskies out when there is no snow.What snow, I haven't seen any in ages. I'm quite glad I don't live in Scotland at the moment but if I did then a pair of Nokian snow tyres would come in handy, a bit more extreme and capable than Schwalbe's offerings.
True, but I don't know how well they'd stand up to really heavy vehicles. Some years ago I tried a four arm spider device and it threatened to shake the vehicle to pieces and the tyre slipped around inside it when wet, no matter how tightly it was clamped on.fair comment...but their are alternatives these days to chains. one called the auto sock or something like that and the spike spider plus a XX style rubber gizmo as well. (these are used a lot on motorhomes)
I don't know what Scottish law says about it, but English law bans the use of dogs as beasts of burden to pull trailers of any kind. Despite that, in some parts of both England and Wales, huskies are used to pull wheeled trike sleds in competitive events, this shown on national TV at times, another example of the law seemingly turning a blind eye as it seems to with some of the things we do with e-bikes.Last year I wondered why the e-bike season starts at the end of May.
