Anyone have advice about riding on a road with at least a partial coating of snow, ice, and/or slush with the usual salt chemicals that sanding trucks spread around?
Thanks a ton

I'd also recommend on easy movements on the handlebars. Especially on roadsgoldenmaine said:Try to relax your body, hands and arms like you are riding normally, since most are tense when riding on ice; always be prepared to press on the brakes. Sudden turns and steering can be risky for sliding incidents, so use the handle bars gently. There is an increase risk of slipping so wear a helmet for safety and precaution.
Can't over-emphasize the lube, I learned this the hard way. I usually dislike riding when the road is icy or has snow on it or whatever, but if you really, really want to do it, then put on some warm clothes and take care of your bike.MotownBikeBoy said:Studded tires, wash the bike really well after each ride and use moisture displacing lubricant to help prevent rust/corrosion.
I have a pair of new winter tires however I ride less in the winter season. If it is really cold and slippery I prefer walking to avoid any injuries or accidents.
