Glad your piece of the world doesn't have winter. When it's 10F and there's 3 inches of snow, I'll remember this recommendation and laugh in my heated car.

- Doctor_Fegg 4y agoFair point. When our town was cut off by snow and all the roads were closed, I couldn’t use my bike to get out. I used the train. Class 43 power cars and eight carriages don’t give a shit about snow on the line. But I guess your heated car would have kept you warm for a while stranded on the B4437.
- Ndymium 4y agoI bike year round, even in 10°F or lower. But it does require a place that plows the bike lanes. Going through snow with an ebike isn't bad when you're the first, but when it has already been turned into a potato field by everyone, then it's definitely a struggle.
- PretzelPirate 4y agoThis is one of the problems with living in the US. Most cities don’t care about bike infrastructure and certainly don’t maintain it when it snows. Drivers here tend to not be bike friendly either. I’ve had cars cut my off when I was in the bike lane because they wanted to pull over.
- bagacrap 4y agothis is laudable, in the same way that running an ultra marathon is, however I can see why most people choose not to do it
