Three reasons why it's no fun to bike in the snow - or, why I'm looking at the timetable for Tram 16

[ridicully]

1. The widely used technique to clean the road and the sidewalk by piling the snow on the bicycle-lane.
2. Brakes which are freezing when the bike is parked for some while outside. It's something you notice about five seconds after starting again, especially when you're driving down a snow-covered ramp in those five seconds.
3. The back of my trousers being first drenched and then, by the feel of it, freezing to my arse. Now that it's thawed, I can wring muddy water out of my underwear.
