Live blog: POLL: do you ride in ice and snow? + "grabbed" cyclist wins $2.25m from NYPD, sledging, crap parking, active travel, youngest round the world cyclist, e-bike factory catches fire (again), win an Elite turbo trainer + more

…No, that's not a warning about yellow ice (which sounds potentially unpleasant) but a yellow - be alert - warning about ice on untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths across a large swathe of the UK. The lack of gritting of cycle paths in many parts of the country has long been a bone of contention for cyclists. The warning is in effect from 18:00 tonight until 11:00 tomorrow morning. So however you may be travelling between now and then take care. You can read the full warning here on the Met Office website. 

The New York Post reports that injured cyclist Charles Puccio, 62, has been awarded almost half of the $5 million he sued the NYPD for after alleging that Detective Noel Lawrence grabbed him, causing him to swerve and crash. Detective Lawrence denied the charge, but the judge ruled in favour of Puccio. Why he was grabbed is unclear, but he was left with foot, back and knee injuries that required hospital treatment. 

Featuring Sustrans representatives, MP's and active travel advocates, the inquiry sought to get Britain on their bikes and on foot and discussed ways of providing further investment. Click the link here to watch it on the Parliament Live TV website.

The badass bikepacking 18-year-old B'Yauling Toni, who became the youngest person to ride around the world yesterday, is shown here cycling through treacherous Canadian conditions to make it to the finish line. This photo is from a Facebook event page from a local bike shop who organised a procession to welcome him back. Toni was also raising money for Canada's Outdoor School Program, which gives kids across the country the chance to take canoeing, camping, backpacking, cycling trips and more across the province of Skaskatchewan to benefit from outdoor learning as well as standard academic education. He was in the Outdoor School Program in 2016 and found it so life-changing, it inspired him to raise funds for the organisation so they can continue their good work : "The passion for learning Outdoor School sparked in students left me questioning our formal education system. I believe that this program should be available for anybody, and the Outdoor School Alumni Association works to make this possible by helping to cover tuition and supply gear to students in need", says B'yauling. 

He's already raised $12,000 on the GoFundMe page, click here to donate some more.

Hi @CambsWater, is it your policy for your operatives to block a major cycle route? They could easily park round the corner. No work is taking place on the route itself. Can you please phone them and tell them to move it? Cc @CambsCC pic.twitter.com/oJ0YW6sk1K

This time Cambridge Water - although they replied swiftly to tell their workforce to move the van sharpish on this occasion.
