Well it happened quickly. Busted right shoulder and bike needs to go to the shop. Here is the crash:

Sure it's avoidable, don't ride in those conditions.Crashing on black ice happens instantaneously and is unavoidable.

Good idea. Especially for days with uneven icy road conditions. Yesterday I should not have ridden (was too eager after a week and a half without riding because i had to wait for a new battery). Went back home, took the car to go to work and almost had a car crash!Sorry to hear about your accident, Eric.
Crashing on black ice happens instantaneously and is unavoidable. The fall is always face down, and the injuries may hurt for 6 weeks or more.
After I had my first and only black ice crash, I immediately ordered a set of Schwalbe studded tyres. I now ride all my e-bikes on studded tyres in the winter.
Sorry to hear that. Hope all is well.Well it happened quickly. Busted right shoulder and bike needs to go to the shop. Here is the crash:

Schwalbe Ice Spiker Pros are pretty good, but there's many choices out there.Is there such a thing as snow tires for bikes or way to add chains to your tires? Boy just looking at that road gives me a flashback to losing control of a car back in the day in Boulder. On a downhill....
The choice here, but NEVER on icy streets without studded tires. And even then ultra caution. Making low-speed turns I used my legs and feet like outriggers. That said being in my 70s brittle, and having watched this, I've decided to no longer ride on ice. Thanks for the share OP. I hope your recovery is quick and you're riding again soon!!Are you guys riding on ice and in cold weather because you have to or you are choosing to do it?
