bike on ice

i saw this bike yesterday morning on my way to church, almost half buried in the snow. i thought i ought to take a photo but when i was fishing out my iphone from my purse, the green light came on and the taxi i was on had moved. to my surprise this morning when i went for my walk, it was still there, all chained and locked on the railing. since i was on foot, there was no reason for me not to take a few shots.

yes, i still was able to go for a walk this morning, but i went at nine. still got to my one hour mark at 4 kilometres. the sidewalks weren't so bad, as they'd been walked on, some parts were iced, others were clear. i wore my winter boots that has a metal thingie underneath that i can flip so to prevent me from slipping on the ice. i went quite slow but not very as i needed to gage the surface i was walking on. tomorrow would be something else. the temperature today was higher which made the ice/snow to melt. hopefully, the sidewalks would be clear then (if it doesn't snow overnight) and better for walking. but we shall see.
I’m glad it waited for you to get the shot. Looks like a nice bike. Maybe they didn’t feel like it was safe to ride in that weather.

Now that's the snow of my childhood, not the 1mm dusting we occasionally get hers!!!

I was out walking on ice yesterday too. Slow and steady wins the race, little steps. Wished for my snow boots but did not have them with me. Love this bike. They have a bit of cleaning to do to get started again!

Lovely shot. I experienced snow only once. I was in Prague on a European Schoolnet conference.

Brr. It's quite decorative, but someone's going to have a cold bum.

Makes me think we are a bit soft in the Uk when I see how much snow you get.
