I'd call this 'inertial cycling'. Steer when snow allows you to and use your inertia to stay upright when being pushed around. And plan your braking distance according to your inertia.

Now studs are out, but streets are cleared. Hello winter.
I was, and thanks for your reply. I'll keep your technique in mind when the snow hits. As I mentioned I have found studded tires the best on "glare," or "black" ice and hard pack snow, and OK, but tough going, for fresh snow up to about three inches.
Sill I think studs are necessary to handle what might be beneath the snow layer.
PS to [MENTION=55787]tsl[/MENTION]: So nice to read your post;
I'll reply later when I have more time.
