I almost lost it last week. I was able to pedal through the small patch & not go down.
A few years ago I was @ the end of a decent, & didn't know what to expect. @ the bottom the water pooled & froze overnight(it was fine the morning before) Saw a truck fishtail in front of me, & had an "oh ****" moment. Tried to feather brake, & countersteer but my bike slipped out from under me. Went down hard on my shoulder/elbow, & slammed my helmet pretty hard too.
Studded tire are hanging on my tire rack in preparation for icy conditions.
