You calling me a wimp?

I had one fall on a day that was clear in the morning, with freezing rain in the evening, and I decided it just wasn't worth it to take the risk of falling again. When you fall on dry pavement, you fall "over" and you have time to get your foot on the ground and slow your fall. But when you fall on ice, the bike skids out from under you, and you fall straight down, and fast! So I will ride in any temperature if the pavement is clear (no wimping out due to cold), but never on ice or snow.
