Melting ice.
Went out for a ride today and bloody hell what a mistake. Been out in the recent super cold with snow and ice which was a bit slippery, but today was something else. The water on top of the melting ice produced an unbelievable almost zero friction surface. The bike would not stay upright even when still.
Came home early before I did myself a mischief.

Covering someone else's damn class whilst their off pissing about at an aviation museum with a year group.
I'd far rather be riding over teflon, shards of glass, a crowd of gun totting celebrating rednecks, and scared turtles right now.0
