Based on the word "FAIL" in the title and not reading the video description, my heart was pumping the whole time thinking you were going down. I didn't want to see you go down, but it was like a train wreck that one can't look away from. I can empathize even though I don't have snow to slide around on in New Orleans, but my nemesis are railroad tracks embedded in the street where your tires get caught in or you go sliding down after a recent rain. Thank goodness you stayed upright.
Fortunately I stayed upright, but still, it wasn’t a fun ride. This is always the time of the year when the lack of maintenance starts to wear on me and my frustration grows.
Yes, Chicago immediately clears the streets for vehicle drivers but totally ignores the needs of pedestrians and even worse, cyclists. 🚲 I've been fishtailling on hidden ice when riding on slightly deflated MTB tires. Now I go slow and try not to turn the tire sharply on any snow/ice.

What tires you using?
I was on my ebike that has Schwalbe Energizer Plus tires. I’ve been been really impressed at how well they perform in the winter.
@@chicagobybike what size? I’m looking to get some Marathon Plus on my trek fx 3. Need that puncture protection, people say they roll good too
@@fortyforfree They are 28x1.75. I have Marathon Winter Plus on my non-ebike and I love them.

Yeah it’s no fun sliding around. Fortunately spring (and summer) are just around the corner!
i’m surprised park district usually do good job clearing park walkways.
