When is wintery weather TOO wintery?

Must be cold out there - Ghost has stolen the car for his daily commute!

Well I've used the bike every day this week - no probs. Just be much more gentle - leave loads more space etc.

I have had a few car twats driving too close but a signal for them to keep their distance usually works.

The roads have been pretty clear - just difficult getting in and out of my own road.

Even had 2 bikes at the Old Nick bike night on Tuesday!!

I've successfully managed so far this week - my overriding thought is that it's SO COLD!! But slow and steady with biiiiiiiiiig gaps is working for now, with feet down at either end to get out of my road and into the office where the roads are less clear

I've noticed the car drivers following too close too! What's the best way to signal them to stay back, I'm never sure how to do it without pissing any of them off...?

From my riding position on a sports bike I find it easy just to swing an open hand/arm back a couple of times usually works. Turning round and glaring at them when stopped at traffic lights usually has the desired effect too

Ahh, I can manage both of those too - I've given a few drivers the glare already!

Oh, the powerful effects of the Withering Stare.....It certainly works [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
You could always dismount at the lights and tell the car driver that if they'd like to get any closer they may as well get on the ****ing pillion seat... >
