Biking safety in winter
(Jan. 2019)
Because in winter the road surface is often slippery due to ice or snow, motorists (in a number of countries even compulsory) install winter tires.
With a bicycle that is not possible. It is true that the tires of an ATB will have more grip in case of slipperiness than the tires of a city bike, but even with an ATB it can still be a risky business to ride on a really slippery road surface.
Nevertheless, it is fairly easy to eliminate any risk of gliding by bicycle.
No winter tires are mounted, but side wheels.
These are actually meant for adults who still have to learn how to cycle, but they also offer an excellent solution for the risk of falls on a winter slippery road surface.
Easy to assemble and not even pricey:

A few months ago, however, he discovered that nowadays real bike-caravans are available:
