I was a bit surprised to see loads of these chaps out and about, managed to snap this one mid slither...they seem generally OK though.
What is it.

Autonomous delivery drone. They've had 'em here in MK for a couple of years now, they also have them in a few places in a America and Estonia. I think they chose MK as a trial location 'cause it's got loads of cyclepaths/pedestrian routes. AFAIK this was the first place they fully deployed them 'in the wild' and not on an semi-closed Uni campus or similar.
They can bring you stuff from loads of Local shops, obviously they've been extremely popular since last year.
They're about knee high and can fit maybe two shopping baskets worth of stuff in.

Can Dick Turpin persuade them to stand and deliver ?

Just defrosting after a 45 mile ride in the snow and ice. Glad to be back in one piece after slipping and sliding on too many occasions for my liking. Postage stamp sized contact points to icy tarmac makes for some interesting cycling. Snow wasn't due until 14:00 so it caught me out with 20 miles to get home. Should have used the smart trainer.

We've got about 4" of snow here.
I've to go to the supermarket later today... in my rather powerful RWD car

will I make it there and back? Place your bets now!
(Can't take the Mondeo, it's got sports tyres on so won't make it off the driveway

)
I wouldn't guarantee you'd make it without snow!
Harsh.. but fair
Made it there and back no worries. Double the mileage on the rear versus the front though, naturally

I like the pouch. Do you use it to carry rare herbs and crystals?
