    I don’t think bike infrastructure to be that good where I live, and I don’t think it’s realistic.

    Mostly because biking only happens during the summer where the weather is enjoyable outside.

    Unless you purposefully use winter bikes with appropriate fat tires. It’s also very cold during the winter.

      Go talk to Norway about biking in the winter, they do it plenty with standard bikes. It’s not like once it snows roads and paths have a permanent layer of snow and ice on them, we invented this thing called a plow.

      Also like 3 minutes into biking in the cold you aren’t cold anymore.

      Apart from snow I don’t see a problem with that kind of weather. And if it’s really cold you just need to swipe the snow once, as it’s not really snowing when there is a negative temperature.
