	I just took my second fall with my bicycle on ice within
	the last four months.  Whereas the first was on an uphill
	grade with minimal speed, the second was on a downhill
	at about 20 MPH.  The later has proved to be much more
	painful.  I'm amazed at how fast the bicycle slips out
	from beneath me.

	Now I don't live in an extremely cold area.  What do you
	folks who commute year round in colder areas do about
	this problem?  I don't want to stop commuting just because
	it's below freezing temperature.

	Maybe I need training wheels!!!
