I've been doing fine this winter with just a front V-brake but my latest fall was in the evening, was dark out around 7pm and I was riding on the boulevard sidewalk coming up to a side street. There was no new snow, but the patch of ice blended into the sidewalk about 4-5' from the curb ramp in which instead of sharp turn missing the crosswalk island and dealing with ruts/bumps of snow, I just go straight across the level side street to the driveway, 90 degree turn onto sidewalk, 4' another 90 degree turn onto boulevard sidewalk then giver until I hit the residential street.
Landed on my hands to break the fall and the wrists hurt for about a day. The muscle behind the shin, must've hit something because its bruised to the size of a football, and ripped my $20 walmart coat.
I havent been riding as much as I'd like to, the crash woke me up, the cold weather held me back too for a few days where I was up to ride but the cold weather was cold enough. I am still pissed off about the rear light ticket I got which was a consolidated ticket.
