Ouch

1st of January; discover that the small footbridge by Nerdvana has a smooth sheet of ice on it - after getting up the bridge and across the flat portion. Foolishly apply front brakes. Wham.

3rd of January; discover small patch of ice on the road outside the flat. Foolishly apply front brakes. Wham. Rather unpleasant bruises on right thigh and elbow for my pains.

Luckily, the frost has passed.

Unfortunately, the Right Thing to do on ice can only be learned by experience and by suppressing the instinct - nearly always correct - to apply the front brakes when uncertain.

Perhaps I'll get it right next time...
