A slightly different perspective from an incident that happened last weekend. It was after work and snowing, I made my usual run through town out to the pub for friday night happy hour with several friends. Typical friday night, and I always ride. When I got there two people in the pub were offended that I rode my bike in snow because they said it was hard enough for drivers to drive an avoid other cars, and I was just being selfish by riding in those conditions by making car drivers have to be extra careful to avoid me.

I was kind of taken aback and thought about it for a while.

1. I had good lights, reflective clothing and the right tires for the conditions, I never slid or felt like I was going to go down. Not my first time riding in snow.
2. I ride like no one can see me anyway, so I had a hard time reconciling that with drivers needing to be extra alert around bicycles.
3. And my final conclusion, if they they feel it is unsafe to drive and share the road then they should have been the ones to stay at home. I like to ride in the snow, I like the quiet sound, the feel because it's so smooth, and the way the world looks from a bicycle seat as the world turns white.
