I'm in Athens, about an hour from Atlanta and I had my first ice commute today, an epic fail for me as well. A few days ago when we got our fresh snow I rode around some and even rode to the bank and back and did fine with that.

Today was ice not snow! and I hit a couple patches of ice and fell twice (having never fallen in nearly in a year of mostly daily commuting). The first time I fell on my butt and that wasn't too bad, the second was on my knee and that hurt like a son-of-a-gun! Oh well, tomorrow will hopefully be less icy and maybe I can decrease my falls by half!

Be safe out there.
