Can you not slip on ice while running?
Or are there spiked running shoes? In that case, you might as well get spiked tyres for the bike and cycle too!

First cross country runs at secondary school, were done in spiked football boots. Not much good at the start, and got a laugh the first time.Can you not slip on ice while running?

Got a set of those too - the microspike version which fit and remove easily.

I expect the mountain bikers have something, but I just wear a long enough coat!
In my experience, the big risk of falling on ice is bruising whatever hits the deck first, but I am always worried about the potential for a nobber motorist following too close.

Not ice related but i hit the deck today, rear wheel had been slipping under power so im guessing i had some oil / diesel on the tyre so when i went around a corner the rear wheel went and i have lovely road rash on my hip, handlebar tape ripped and shifter twisted round the bars.

Hope you are feeling better. I didn't hit the deck but it felt pretty slippy today and after my back end drifted out I cycled pretty cautiously, my garmin said it was 0deg. A lot milder tonight 4deg according to the Garmin.
