I took the car this morning and I'm not sure if it was the right choice. It was below freezing and there was a fine layer of ice in spots on the road. It wasn't everywhere and it varied in thickness from a few twinkling crystals to frozen puddles. I debated, I waffled, I questioned my own motivations. Finally I decided that since I had never ridden my bike in such conditions before I would play it safe and drive. My tests at the stop signs showed me the roads were slightly slippery, I could spin the tires but I had to try, and my stopping ability was just fine. I am still wondering what it would have been like on the bike.
