Well, that's it for me. No more riding in the snow/ice. I fell two times on the way to work yesterday. The reason was because I was riding the edge of the road which was mostly clear but had patches of slush. The roads on my route to work have bike paths on each side. Between the road and the concrete bike path is a 12 inch area paved with brick. These surfaces are uneven and have grooves between them. Like I said, the road was mostly cleared but the bike path was covered with snow. As I was riding the edge of the road, at about 18-20 mph, I noticed I was on the brick strip then before I could even think about applying the brakes, the brick strip disappeared into the snow and my front tire hit the edge of the road and I landed on my left side sliding through the slush.

I probably would not have these problems if I didn't ride so fast. I would slow down but it's a 13 mile ride, one-way. Oh well, I'll be back at it next week when the snow is gone.
