Cycling in the snow

This morning out on my bike while the snow was falling, though by 9 am it was no longer settling and the snow that had already fallen was beginning to melt.

The problem was the big puddles of melted snow at the edges of the Leabridge Road. A car or bus went through one of those and a wave of muddy water up to 2 feet high came right over the pavement. I was slowing down and speeding up to avoid passing one of those puddles at the same time as a car. Luckily there wasn't so much traffic along there as usual at that time of a Saturday morning.

Can't moan too much about being out in the cold on my bike instead of nice and warm inside a car as I then spent 2 and a half hours kayaking! Saw a wren bobbing about at the side of the Navigation in Hackney Wick.
