    It is amazing. He had 13 hours of surgery on his spine (titanium rods down both sides), bruised lungs and a broken leg iirc. Pretty serious injuries but he made a surprisingly quick recovery with little/ no permanent injuries.

    There is a big hill near my house and the car won't go up it, the bike on the snow covered grass was fine. I only have (or should I say had ) a 5 mile commute on salted main roads so it isn't as bad as you would think, just a bit cold

    My biggest fear was falling off and sliding into a slushy hard shoulder and waiting for an hour to get a van to recover the bike, at least when you crash in the summer you can get a tan wile you wait
