This sounds like a place where it would be logical to walk the bike, no?


Absolutely not. Walking is far more dangerous than bicycling. You
know that.

Good point. Sounds like it's time to outlaw walking. Why, if only ONE
life can be saved...!

When it's really slick the prudent man will sit down and slide, pants be
damned. Not that it's dignified, or even easy if one has to hold a
bicycle in his lap.

My father describes coming down a hill and being caught by snow and/or
ice. He hopped off the back and slid down on his feet holding onto the
saddle. He was a pretty good bike handler, though he has also said that
was possibly a lot more luck than judgement :-)
