Hm. I'm riding on Haakapeliitas, and I've ridden without incident on wet icy surfaces that I had trouble walking on. Certainly I didn't take any corners at 30 MPH, but on the straights I didn't take any notice of the ice.

People think I'm nuts for riding a bike on the ice. I think they're nuts for driving a car on it.
