It’s being described as the ‘big freeze’ by the media, and as snow blankets the entire UK, which the incredible photo above shows with astonishing impact, getting out on the bicycle has been challenging, even impossible for many cyclists.

There are many ways to get around this harsh spell of cold weather though, ranging from taking to the turbo trainer or rollers in an effort to ‘get in the miles’, to using a mountain or cyclo-cross bike for some snow time riding fun.

Others might be heading for the gym to focus on some cross training, a spot of swimming or some work in the weight room perhaps. Some may even be using the snow as a good excuse to have some time off the bike. Some intrepid souls have even been using the snow covered roads for some skiing!

So what are you doing? Let us know…
