Cycling on Ice

Today I learned that I can't ride a bike down an icy slope. At least I learned that if I try to I fall off. Luckily I wasn't going very fast and it didn't hurt. The slide down the slope having achieved a more-or-less horizontal position just added to the fun. And lastly I wasn't on the road bike either so I haven't damaged the precious thing; my town bike is made of much sturdier stuff I'm glad to say.
