Blimey. That was a bit colder than expected, eh?
We asked you on Friday who you were riding with this #mycyclingweekend. We expected photos of cycling groups, family, and friends, but we weren't really expecting snow.
That's alright though. If you've been paying attention to the road.cc DealCatcher over the last few weeks, you should have been more than ready for the cold weather - and if the photos are anything to go by, you most certainly were.
We received loads of photos of happy riders in the biting cold, the surprisingly deep snow, the mud, and some stunning autumnal landscapes.
We'll kick things off with a few of our favourites of you guys out enjoying your rides and the weather before we collectively dive headfirst into a bank of snow.
Snow, loads of it
So, there you all are enjoying yourselves.
The next batch is somewhat more intense. We're not saying you weren't enjoying yourselves, because how could you not in environments that look as beautiful as these, but it did look very, very cold.
No Snow
But it wasn't snowing everywhere. There were huge swathes of the country that missed out on a coating of the cold stuff, and you guys took advantage of that by taking some stunning photos of beautiful autumnal trails, fresh clear blue skies, stunning sunsets, and mud. Loads of mud.
No snow in Copenhagen, fantastic bike culture instead
We're not saying it's better than ours, but Copenhagen is renowned for it its cycling culture in a way that London or any other British city as still years away from.
Instagram user olemelk, who is from Norway, is waxing lyrical here about Copenhagen. We imagine we would be too if we were there.
Get involved
It's not too late for you to get involved with this #mycyclingweekend. If you've got any photos of your weekend ride with your friends, or even the snow, sleet, rain, or mud, fire them our way on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook with the #mycyclingweekend hashtag clearly displayed in the caption box.
If he's not charging VAT yet then it would appear he's making well under 25 bikes per year currently. 8 full builds at 10-15k would send you over...
That looks like a fun bike. Frame only, 2 and an 1/2 grand.
Does this count as social media?
But down the line it can put a big dent in its resale value which ups leasing costs and the amount of cash an owner is throwing at their status...
Only reading the headline on the homepage, not the rest of the article, but I only ride mountain bikes and I still get close passed...
Fair enough, personal experience may trump (not that one) theory. However, the bonking I have experienced has been due to lack of carbs. Your point...
Agreed, but he was still right to publicise the event. The police, if they're anything like Lancashire, will do nothing at all.

in the UK we have policing which to a greater or lesser extent relies on assistance from members of the public......
Just wanted to share a quick thank you to everyone who helped out in this thread....
