[net.bicycle] riding ice

E8D@PSUVM.BITNET (03/02/86)

     Well, I avoid it myself but at least one local commuter gets on
le velo, freezing rain or no.  His trick is to ride a fixed-gear bike
(like a track bike with no freewheel so no coasting).  He claims to have
a lot better feel for the road and better control.
