Nature is also against walkability when it puts frigging hills on my way! Also the weather is way too agressive near the equator... I can endure it with sports clothes but not before work.
Seriously: walking/cycling on Amsterdam, Lisbon or Paris when the weather is 15 °C, mostly on flat ways, is a pleasure. You arrive at the office just a little heated up, I imagine.
- neoromantique 5y agoThat’s just excuses though, people cycle even in Norway where it’s below freezing most of the year
- swah 5y agoWell... exercising in the cold makes you hotter, that makes sense. And I bet they have Canada-level of socks/parkas/etc which you can remove as you get hotter.
- throwaway894345 5y agoI'm okay with being the "weak person" who doesn't enjoy cycling in below-freezing weather.
- doix 5y agoI find it much easier to do exercise in the cold than in the heat. In the cold it's just a matter of having the right gear and layers. In the heat, there's nothing you can do. It'll be extremely hot, you'll be sweating like crazy and get tired quicker (or at least I do).
