The cyclist on the left is confident enough that the road will be free of ice that he's cycling with no hands.
Even though it's a minor road, it's completely clear or ice and snow. The roads and cycle paths are gritted daily through the winter.

This road is only a through road for cyclists. Except for access, cars are behind the concrete noice barrier on the left.
