I'm a proponent of bicycles, but I acknowledge they aren't a perfect solution for everyone. A city without proper bike lanes or with drivers with contentious attitudes towards bicyclists can make for a problematic and stressful commute. That's also not getting into weather changes. It's unequivocally true that biking in winter can be more dangerous and less enjoyable than biking in warmer temperatures. I personally quite enjoyed biking in beautiful Melbourne, especially along the Portsea Return. But in my home city, the infrastructure is decades behind a truly safe environment for cyclists. Despite the fact that the city is constantly growing and the mass transit system is barely making ends meet, the city council still bickers over the merits of creating more bike lanes which only add to the "War on the Car."
