You are right there, last winter I had studded tires and did fall down only one time because a low-powered motorcycle from the opposite direction crashed into my front wheel. These 'perfect' black-ice conditions like on the video where quite common here in the last 2 winters. My commute has a lot separate cycle tracks so I can't complain too much and I just keep on cycling.
