When I was a college student at Kyoto, I lived in a super-local area (at the period. Now the area is very convenient), for example, the the last bus was coming at 3:40 p.m.
I took more than half hour to get a nearest convenience stores, so I had to have a motor-bike to get around to commute and to get foods against rains and snows.
The bike was my lifeline in the literature.
I don't remember how much I got traffic accident and was injured.
When I turned at a cross in a snow day, I toppled over and was blown off at an edge of the cross.
Generally speaking, driving a bike on snow roads is an aberrational action, except for reasons of "starving to death, breathing heavily with a high fever".

On last Saturday, the record snowfall was coming in Tokyo Metropolitan area, and many victims are now going on, despite of passing two days.
I think this morning should be the most dangerous.
Though the snow is melting in a flat town area, they becomes water and refreeze ice in a hill town.

This morning, I saw a few persons in a crowded in front of me on my commuter road.
I had forebodings about that.
There were a bike rolling on the road, several cars stuck, the man who seemed to be the bike owner, and several women who seemed to be trying to lift the bike up.
I am afraid that I came to an awkward situation.
I didn't want to relate to such an accident because I had some terrible troubles in these days.
However I tried to run away from the place as soon as possible, I felt painful for their gaze that expected my help.
It is no use acting as an unrelated person, so I asked the ladies to step back, stay the bile by my hand and gave him some advice.
"Shift into the first and, open the throttle slowly."
"Keep the bike vertical and move with slipping.
We could escape from the stuck place.
The driver asked me not to support any more, I stopped helping him, thought I knew it was still in dangerous condition.
However I had a feeling of both the man was crying and the bike was rolling again,
I moved on the spot as soon as possible with saying "just imagination" in my mind.

I am not kind of any person who drives a bike on snow road.
