I did some riding on streets covered with ice this morning on the way to work,
and my bike was a little bit unstable in the corners (yipes!).  It was slightly
skiddish :-) on the straights too.  (My wife uses the car, so my bike is the
only alternative to the bus.  The bus takes 1 to 1.5 hours each way, the bike
takes about 25 to 30 minutes.)  Any hints from year-round riders?  (If you don't
ride in inclement weather, don't respond.)

I have to assume that most of you aren't so foolish as to ride on ice.
(It strikes me as a bit unsafe.) Those that do probably don't want to admit it.
But if you fess up and write me, I won't divulge your name to the net.

Send replies by mail.  If anything good comes I'll summarize.

PS. Does anyone make a tire that is *outstanding* in the rain?
