Good advice. Wish I had thought of it 2 weeks ago! The back tire went out on me going up a driveway entrance at an angle. I made the mistake of accelerating and didn't notice the ice. Stuck my hand out, landed on my palm, and dislocated my shoulder. Hurt for a couple of days until I was able to poop it back.
