Watch your riding style
Watch your riding style
If you are unlucky enough to come across an icy surface, the trick is not to slam on the brakes, as this will cause a skid, but to stay calm and steady.
Keep your wheels moving in a straight line, pedal smoothly, and hold your upper body still – simply focus on the road ahead and don’t make sudden movements.
Climbing out the saddle is best avoided, as this causes the bike to rock, gaining traction from a smaller surface of the tyre.
