the reason for dragging both feet when on ice is whichever way it falls over you will have at least one leg trapped under bike.this lessens damage to side covers and gas tanks.

besides we all know how much stability and traction your boots gliding across ice will give you lol. if the weight and grip of your tires isnt doing the job the bottom of your boots arent going to help, might as well just pull it over. but i dont see how putting your legs at risk is a safe thing. i for one plan to keep my feet up when i see some wet leaves in the road.

Alright, so I completed the tedious deed of standing in line at the DMV (in Chicago, so, multiply the amount that your local DMV sucks by 100 and thats getting close....)
Outta curiosity what part of Chicago are you in? I'm right by O'Hare did you go to the Elston DMV?

yeah, the elston dmv. i'm in the east village, division and ashland area. (i'm closer to the loop but my theory was that during the day, maybe the one on elston wouldn't be as busy...i was wrong) maybe when i get my bike i'll see you on the road!
