Looked a little rain-ish this morning (forecast called for snow), temp around 0 C, so I ventured out with the rain pants on. Took a shortcut through the drug store parking lot to get by a bus at an intersection. Found out the earlier rain was freezing rain on the sidewalk! A short quick dump as I was crossing the sidewalk, landed on my shoulder, no injury to me, but the jolt to the bike loosened the front brake cable (rear was already out of adjustment and only worked a little). I couldn't stop, only slow down the rest of the way to work, but it turned out I didn't have to, anyways.
The rest of the trip was uneventful, it was a nice change to not have to wait for the water bottle to thaw to have a drink at the end of the ride!!
