Riding bicycles on ice???

A bicycle? An icicle? An icile and a bicycle together?

This sort of questions were occupying me today and I was wondering whether one could observe them together or, similar. Icicles fascinate me; here are some images

But on these images there was no bicycle and ice fused together… so my conclusion seemed to be that one cannot observe them together.  But, I was wrong!  I just heard from my Dad that a good friend of his has just skid on the ice, where ice means a collection of a multitude of icicles (in fact an infinite set), while he was riding his fancy bicycle.  So there I was, thanking the fairies for creating this event.  A bicycle meeting the icicles.  Imagine how spectacular a picture it would be if one could have managed to get one at impact.

Then I started thinking about our friend.  Was he hurt?  It seems that he did get hurt a bit but soon he will be over it.  What can I say?  Did it not occur to him that maybe bicycles and ice are not good complements?  But then what do you expect from humans?  They have little common sense.  It cannot occur to them that it is best to use all fours with claws extended in such tricky conditions as ice; observe polar bears??  Well, I only hope that our friend learns from his experience and next time he performs such antics, he has the camera ON.
