You could drive a kid's tricycle on that smooth ice if you could get the thing to start going. No problem getting around.
Ice thickness required using the extension bar on a Jiffy Model 30. Just barely need it, but it was alot easier on the back with the extension on.

Worst part of the warm days is they often bring out a lot more of the inexperienced out onto the ice. Especially the dodo birds who speed across the ice. I like my cold weekends for that reason.
