& as I recall, it would usually wreck the frame alignment for solo riding eventually.
how true, Mick - think sometimes it is difficult for an American even for someone here from that era, (or even someone from there from my generation), to envision England & Europe before WW2 where few had cars, & the only family means of transport was a bike & chair.
though my Dad learnt to drive & had a car (went with the job, I think) my Granddad never did & he & Nan would get on the bike & in the chair & evidently would most weekends trundle off for the day to Southend, the equivalent of Coney Island for those from the East End (Eastside) of London.
gotta say as far as snow (or ice) on two wheels, I've found it to be whoooooah!!! My experience is apart from doing something stupid - like hit the brakes too hard/fast/at all or try to steer it, at all, you either fall off or stay on, nothing you can really do about it. makes riding in rain like being on new, scrubbed in tires on ripple free ashphalt.
