This morning, I was having fun wiggleing my front wheel and making pretty tracks in the snow behind me. (I was on my final 200 yards, where I get on the sidewalk that leads to my building.)
Made one too swirvy and I slide down.
It was loads of fun, as soon as I realized I was fine. I will leave the artwork for the pro's from now on, however.
I am actualy glad I did that, it gave me a sence of how sharp a turn I can make.

The only time I ever wiped out last winter (my first winter riding a bike) was when I tried to lock up my rear wheel and do a sideways skid to throw a bunch of snow on a cow-orker. I succeeded in throwing snow, but I also ate quite a bit of it myself, and I was really scooting along. Nothing damaged at all, and my cow-orker thought it was intentional. Others who saw it thought it was awesome. I thought it was awesome that my laptop didn't get broken in the fall.

Regardless, it was probably the funnest 5 seconds of last winter.

Don't know who, but some crazy guy with thin, slick tires did a nice 180 on the MUP bridge before I got there. Didn't see it, but saw the track. I'm assuming it was successful since I didn't see an awkward snow angel near the track.

I rolled into work at about 8:30, and mine was the 5th track in the snow. Thought I would have been the only moron!

Cyclists are notoriously abnormal, Mr. Underbridge. Of particular note are the commuting variety.

I do that if I get first tracks and the right tires for it.

Bike Angels in the snow!
snow still hurts to fall on if there's not much of it.

I hope the Dallas area gets some nast-y weather this year. All set with some tubeless studded tires. Whoo!

Commuted on the W&OD for the last 2 winters, but now in Tokyo. Really jealous, as I loved commuting in the winter there. I bought a Nokian Mount & Ground in the summer for a good price and was looking forward to using it instead of my front Hakkepellitta 106 to make it easier to get out of ruts.

How deep was the snow?

I did not cycle today but a friend said it was mostly clear to less than an inch on the WO&D. Near Sterling, side areas had 2 - 3". I put Nokian studded snow tires on my MTB and hope to try them out tomorrow.

I once hiked up to Horsetooth Rock when it was all snowy and icy. Made it all the way up (at night) without falling down once, felt proud of myself. Walking back across the parking lot to the car, I fell down.

On another occasion, on the same trail, I came to a spot where melted snow had puddled and frozen in the trail. I met a guy coming down and when he got to that spot, boom! down he went. "Poor doofus can't even walk on ice", I thought to myself. A half hour later, I was coming back down the trail, got to that same spot and fell down myself.

One winter I enjoyed taking a shortcut through the mall parking lot in the morning (before traffic got there) just to practice my swerving.

Last winter's best moment was the morning after a fresh storm. I had just reached the far side of an intersection and got too far to the right, where it was slick. My wheel started heading towards the snowbank on the side, and it was too slippery to correct it, so slowly and gently into the snowbank I went! Didn't hurt a bit, and both I and the motorist behind me got a good laugh out of it.

Eat your hearts out, Californians!
