• Two swallows don’t make a summer but last night and this morning I’ve seen more commuter cyclists than usual. And it’s icy and very cold. #

• Mac and PC users: share screens with new Skype: http://is.gd/eF49 #
• @John_the_Monkey Yes, very slippy. My 3 kids managed to stay upright. Funnily enough, theirs were the only bikes in the school bike rack. #
• Gonna get a track bike. Not for street posing (you should see the hill from our house) but for, you know, track riding. Need it for Saturday #
• Fred Whitton ride entries open online. But closed almost straight away. Such a ‘hot’ event. 112 miles over every col in the Lakes. Hard! #
