Heres another tip, get some practice in.
Today I took the Significant Other out to the Hermitage for a ride on the snowy trails out of the way of the traffic. Conditions were 'perfect', hard packed bumpy ice with a dusting of grippy snow and occasional patches of slush. Not to mention winter wonderland type scenery :)
Before we set off the S.O. was defiantly unsure about the idea of riding in these conditions but a nice slow and controlled crawl through the trees was all they needed to start relishing the idea of cycling again with renewed confidence.
We weren't the only ones either, passed a cycling family on the way, which made a change from the hoards of roadies in evidence everywhere else ;)
Oh, I learnt a lot more about bike control too!
