I totally forgot about this post of mine in the mass endeavor that was my semester at school. And YES I can handle my bike. Right now I'm running a conti gator skin on the back its"a slick" I assume because as you know it has almost no tread. I actually fell a second time and it was on a white patch again, those things are like Ice. This second time I fell using my front brake. Since then I have removed my brake. What tires do you recommend for the rain?
