Fins and Swedes bike, you're just cowards. The Dutch bike all year. Freezing rain in the face sucks, but it's better than literally destroying my children's future.
Edit: I live in the Netherlands and bike year round because we do not own a car (family of 4, for the record). Wear a fucking jacket. You're not made of sugar.
Swedes bike in the winter, but only out of spite. Our governments aren't tremendously great at keeping bike paths clear in the winter...
have you seen the standard american diet, they kind of are
I remember Dutch cycling under the rain, talking with the phone in one hand, umbrella in the other and wearing heels.
They are crazy, in the right way. I miss how bike centric Groningen was when I moved out.
