Not an option up here in Canada.
Biking is not viable for about a 1/3 of the year. Ice, snow and low temperatures make biking extremely dangerous.
My city is known as being extremely biker friendly, yet virtually nobody bikes for 4-5 months every year.
- CalRobert 9y agoWeather has an impact but cities still see a return on building bike infrastructure. http://vancouver.ca/files/cov/walking-cycling-in-vancouver-2016-report-card.pdf http://vancouver.ca/files/cov/walking-cycling-in-vancouver-2... Canada is big but most of its population lives in the south. If you're in Yellowknife that could be different, of course.
- superhuzza 9y agoOh I definitely agree investing in cycling infrastructure is still worth it. I'm very happy my city has many bike paths and a bike sharing system. However, the reality for most Canadians is that above all we need public transport that can be used year round. Most Canadians don't live in B.C., and pretty much everywhere else we have harsh winters (yes, even in the south).
