There are more ways to enjoy the ice than strapping blades to your feet and potentially wiping out. Ride easy with exhilarating bumper cars on Akron’s outdoor ice skating rink at Lock 3. For $12 per 10-minute ride, spin, slide and smack into others while reclined in battery-operated inner tube-esque cars on a portion of the rink separated from skaters. Also try ice bikes — bikes with back tires mounted on sled-like frames with blades that glide like skates. Head to Winterblast to partake in these activities — plus ice skating, fire pits, igloos and shuffleboard through Feb 17. Between State Street bridge and Canal Park Stadium, Akron, lock3live.com
