Hey Dupo, I'm still riding every day! No big deal either. But when there is ice on the road I'm not taking the Geezer anymore. This morning on my way to work I tried riding across an icy patch on a back road, going pretty slow, and went down. Because it was downhill, I slid til the ice ran out, about 50 feet. I was wearing my insulated, armored suit of course, 'cause it was 26 degrees when I left the house, so no damage to me at all. And since it was sheet ice it was smooth sliding, so no damage to the bike either. But in short, Bikes and Ice-not a good combination!
