Slipping on Ice

Rubbish.

Are you trying to tell the people on here that during the recent cold snap that the solid shiny wet stuff we rode over wasn't ice? Piffle. It was ice, and most people didn't go down.

Just don't lean.

So many of the people on that video leant, and were going too fast around the curve to avoid leaning.

With proper thick ice like we had a few weeks ago, it is as difficult to balance as riding on a tightrope.

Cars with 4 big wheels cannot grip on the stuff what hope has a bicycle?

With a short flat stretch, you can try and skill/balance yourself across with lots of concentration.

But most roads have a slant so you will be gliding sideways into parked cars, if you try to turn right to correct. BAM! You are down.

I myself went down three times during the icey stint, all riding straight ahead, and two of those times were on a mountain bike. It did not help in the slightest.
