Completely different, 540 degree away, strategy here. At any moment I am ready to jump off the bike and let the bike fall under me, escaping without any bruises. In winter your control over what you are riding on is naturally limited and the bike will slip occasionally whether you like it or not. The key is to make it an irrelevant event. When I was young and dumb, I used toe clips and straps - all now eradicated.
