Here ice is always about!On day's where ice might be about
Dinnae cast a cloot til May's oot!Here ice is always about!
Last March - mid March actually, a clear sunny morning at around 8am... take the ice bike? Nay, wot ice ... few yards down the road my back wheel went, took a tumble, ripped my lovely warm jacket, permanent road rash scar on my elbow ... sheet ice
One very specific area I found is where tarmac has melted in the summer and you see those shiny patches in the road...I was riding one such road and as soon as I hit one of those patches....off in an instant. That was a bright sunny morning but there were still bits of frost visible where the sun hadnt got to it. I thought the road was ok and it was just the bits of verge...apparently not.Anyway, whats the advice for dealing with potential ice. Do i need to change tyres or will just taking it a bit slower/easier suffice? Where will it be most slippy? Sections sheltered from the early morning sun? I have a few cobbles and a level crossing and tram tracks to contend with too do they get slippy or is smooth tarmac the worst? Any other tips?
