Expanded my inclement weather experience tonight

Maybe road conditions for bikes & cars are not equal.

Those four wheels make it a little easier to stay rubber side down...

On the other hand - if you get stuck somewhere you can't just pick up your car and carry it out of trouble!

Digression: I found out once, coming home late from a party slightly sozzled, that wool socks give much better traction on slick ice than shoes do...

Yeah--one factor in my decision not to use the car last night (in addition to principles) was that the clutch is going. It would suck to be stuck at a traffic light in that weather, with a full trunk of groceries, unable to put it into gear.
