We had freezing rain

Was out walking, enjoying the pretty post freezing rain icicles, nearly got knocked down by a bicyclist. Who bicycles in weather like this?

"Who bicycles in weather like this?"

It *should* be someone with more sense than to ride on a sidewalk. (Sidewalks, particularly sidewalks endorsed by the League Against Bicycling, are not designed for wheeled traffic and are extremely unsafe.)

When I was younger, I frequently came home with icicles hanging from my fenders (partly because I was careful not to knock them off at rest stops!), but at that time I lived on a very important road in a state where you are much more likely to skid on salt than on ice. (The salt did terrible things to my respiratory system every time I was overtaken.)
