Which is worse, fog or ice?

[G3CWI]

I find fog scarier than black ice myself. The idea of being hit by someone who did not see me does not appeal.

Black ice for me, but then I'd choose my routes carefully in thick fog, black ice can lurk anywhere but there are a few spots where I know to be wary! I suppose I've got spiked tyres but black ice can catch you out on days you aren't expecting it so have set off with the wrong bike!

I don't find either of them scary, but of the two fog is the better one to deal with, at least it wont put me on my arse if I foul up.

Definately Ice. Fog you can cycle in as long as you take care. Ice will get you no matter how much care you take. I know from bitter experience.

Ice. Have come off* twice on ice.


*No, not like that

Mayonnaise.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Freezing fog. Probably.

Blue cheese.

Black ice, or any ice would be worse but don't go out in it.
Will go out in fog, but it's a bit scary .

I had a niggling pain in my right elbow for six months after my front wheel slid sideways on black ice.

If I was a burglar I think I'd prefer fog as well.

I don't like either as both are very dangerous so I stay in front of the fire in both cases, it is warmer and much safer.

Ice is OK in vodka, but I'd rather cycle in fog.

I had the trike ready for a ride after work today, but got home and saw a bit of fog...
Out came the rollers.

Ice, fog, I can't be a$$ed wig either any more, particularly after a) a guy rolled his car last night just down my road because of the fog and I don't fancy that landing on my new trike and b) seeing the carnage on this year's Jack and Grace 100k and the ice problems.

Ice is worst. I don't go out if icy. I do if foggy.

Blue cheese.

Seems vern hasn't got the foggiest tho'
