Well it depends on who you ask I suppose, but there's rarely a day you can't ride in Adelaide Australia, certainly not so often that you would throw the idea of bicycles as a last mile solution out the window, and South Australia's climate pretty closely matches San Fran. It's also just not that bad to ride in the rain if you were prepared for it. It usually stops raining in ten minutes here anyway. It's just not a strong argument to not focus on bicycle infrastructure.
I didn't say the majority have good weather either, I just disagree with the premise that "most" have unrideable seasons. Maybe "most" have an unrideable day or week but there are days you can't drive too and we don't pull funding from road infrastructure because of it.
- gnicholas 6y agoJust FYI, I think Adelaide gets substantially hotter than SF. Adelaide's highest temperatures are around 110° F every year, [1] whereas SF rarely breaks 100° F. [2] In addition to different high temperatures, SF also has surprisingly cold summers. Having lived in CA for most of my life (and having visited AU once), I'd say the temperatures are more similar in Sacramento or Los Angeles, and to a lesser degree Palo Alto. 1: https://www.currentresults.com/Yearly-Weather/Australia/SA/Adelaide/extreme-annual-adelaide-high-temperature.php https://www.currentresults.com/Yearly-Weather/Australia/SA/A... 2: https://www.currentresults.com/Yearly-Weather/USA/CA/San-Francisco/extreme-annual-san-francisco-high-temperature.php https://www.currentresults.com/Yearly-Weather/USA/CA/San-Fra...
