Slick tyres, black ice and 20mph is not a gd cocktail mix.

You're bit hardcore you, ain't ya?

Yep, 20 mph can be very bad. It can also require purchase of a full set of clothes, including shoes.

I came off twice yesterday at only 3mph so 40mm Marathon XR are no use on ice.
My main concern was with the smartphone. It survived fine too.

I did 90miles just up the road in Peterborough, it wasn't bad here in fact it turned into a perfect day; if I'd been further north/west I might have had to reconsider. If it bad however, you just need to be a little smoother in your cycling style, anticipating earlier and slowing down rather than braking hard and take smoother lines.
