Canada entering the chat. There is definitely poor weather.
I know people will cycle in the snow and ice, but I don’t recommend it.
I agree that bikes are great, when the infrastructure supports them, and reducing usage of petrol cars is sensible for the planet. But they still can only supplement a car for most families in most places.

Like I said, even if we get from 2-3 cars/family to 1 car/family, we're WAY ahead in resource use, health, space usage, etc.
