Sharing is a specific audience, and one that probably has more transportation alternatives than the people that own bikes. So they'll switch faster.
Also, rain in Sevilla and Valencia is not like rain in Dublin, in my experience. It's warmer there, and the rain is lighter; you can almost count on your clothes drying there. Cycling in cold rain with wind wearing wet clothes from the morning is about the worst condition I know. Then again, cyclists in Dublin probably have rain clothing.
Another point: hot weather tends to occur in summer, when people are on holidays.
So indeed, it's not conclusive.

You can see the Paris August holidays in our visualizations of the models, and I was recently told about Goteborg July holidays. So the model with four variables (UTCI, rain, hour of day, day of year) is best, but then that is hard to visualize.
