  1. First thing I thought was, shit now ICE is coming after cyclists! That word will never be the same…

    You can turn, just do it slowly and don’t lean into it, try to keep the bike upright. That or get studded tires.

    This is why I ride with motorcycle clothes. It’s over doing it for sure, but that time I ate shit going 20mph the only thing I got was a concussion and some bruising.

  4. Every time with the first ice of the year. 

    After that I turn slooowly for the rest of the day

  5. Damn that also happened to me a few winters ago and it really spooked me. Caused some holes in my jacket too and same elbow wound.

    I hope for a speedy recovery for you!

  6. Ouch, that looks sore!

    When there’s ice on the ground, don’t lean into your turns at all. Stay upright, and do a slow, big, wide turn using the handlebars. Some ice is going to tip you no matter what though, so sometimes it is just a better idea to get off and walk for a bit.

    If you have knobby tyres and the choice is snow or potential ice, ride on the snow.
