*sigh* Rogan you must be one of those physics majors dealing with quantum mechanics or some such...
Real ice from condensation in car exhaust and frizzling (I like that term) gets a thin layer of water on it and is almost frictionless. Can't walk on it. Zero control of cars, they just silently slide until stopped by something in front. I cannot imagine hitting that when on a bicycle, though I have tried to ride on the lake with new ice. Didn't work out so well.
