That is what I used to say when I was living in Madrid, with the lower temperatures in winter being 2-3 degrees under 0(celsius), but sun most of the year.
But living in Germany was a completely different story in winter going under 30 degrees under 0, 3-4 hours less daylight than in Spain or Portugal, and cloudy all day.
It is extremely disgusting to breath fast, like you need when in the bike when the air is so cold. Somebody should invent something for it.
On the other hand, in most of Spain you can't go around in summer with your bike, but it is great in Germany, Austria or Switzerland.
- lorenzhs 11y ago-30°C is an exaggeration. If you don't live in the mountains there are usually a couple of weeks with sub-zero temperatures here; I use a ski mask when it gets really cold. That helps a lot with the cold head winds. I absolutely always ride my bike to work (5km each way) in southern Germany, and I kinda agree with the GP ;)

- kayoone 11y agoI did 20km at -10 this winter here in Berlin and that was already pushing of what i am comfortable with to the extreme. But -30 is very very rare, like once in 10 years and i would not ride the bike in that case.
