I think you're describing something like Rob English's Winter bike:

Good for you! I was in bed with a hangover until 11 AM.
It is getting cold enough that I'm having to remember that, hey, ice is possible now. The other day I was hustling from west bound NE Couch onto the Burnside Bridge. You know the "S curve" there. I was diving into the first S when I realized, uh-oh, the road surface looks different this morning. Too late to slow down but I took the curve as wide as I could. Wasn't icy as it turns out, but at 5 AM it could easily have been.
