I almost dropped my baby yesterday. Lost rear traction for a split second. Cold tires, wet conditions, and a manhole cover that I didn't even notice until watching the video.

Yep, like wet roots or rocks while hiking and biking, beware.

You also have to be cognizant of the paint stripes as they are sooo much more slippery than the pavement.

Yes, the stripes are bad wet or dry.
