Ride a bike on winter snow and ice without slipping and falling

There are a lot of great reasons to ride a bike in winter -- it's just as fun as it is in summer! -- but all that snow and ice can make things slippery. So, after years of trial and error, and a few spills myself, here's some advice for staying upright.

(Can I just say that the truly best way is to ride in a city that has great bicycling infrastructure that is maintained for the season? C'mon, city builders!).

Here are my tips:

0:47 Don't lean into your turns.
1:42 Recognize slippery bits
2:38 Gear!
4:28 The ultimate no-brainer tip

Wondering why I don't use a fat bike for my commute? Here's the answer: https://youtu.be/Sb_eR8Mwr6M
