Cycling to work and a swim in the lake on the way. Air 3°C, water ~3°C.
The roads are icy today. I realised it moments before I hit the ground hard.

Mit dem Velo zur Arbeit und unterwegs ein Bad im See. Luft 3°C, Wasser ~ 3°C.
Die Strassen sind glatt heute. Merkte es wenige Augenblicke bevor ich hart auf dem Boden aufschlug.

@FourT4 @stk @recollir Thanks for your concers! I am all good, thankfully, and so is the bike it seems...

@rcr glad you're OK! Have you considered special tyres for winter? cc @FourT4 @stk @recollir

@nitot @FourT4 @stk @recollir I have actually, especially today 😊

I haven't used lately eg spikes because there are only few days when they are really needed. So I think all other days it's just an extra effort to cycle.
But I might actually equip a spare bicycle we have with winter tyres that I can use on the icy days. Let's see.

@rcr you know that the ideal number of bicycles is n+1, so here is your excuse! 😄 cc @FourT4 @stk @recollir

This is tempting, but I am trying to be sensible and resist this kind of solution...

@rcr @nitot @stk @recollir I think you need a new bike just because you came off the old one. Standard practice.

@FourT4 @nitot @stk @recollir You might soon succeed and make me get 1+n bike... 😂

Years ago I had a couple of (silly!) crashs that required extensive repairs and ultimately a new bicycle. But today, it seems nothing was damaged, thankfully.
