This isn't a problem with biking in Finland in the winter.
Bike lanes are plowed and/or compacted multiple times a day during heavy snowfall. Albeit it isn't really that hilly but more than weather, the main constraint is having a city willing to actually maintain biking infrastructure.
- devoutsalsa 3y agoIn heavily biked areas, is Finland mostly flat?
- ClumsyPilot 3y agoWe have e-bikes, S-pedelecs, e-scooters and electric motorbikes. Hills are not a relevant issue technologically
- devoutsalsa 3y agoRiding on a flat surface isn't such a big deal. Riding up & down a hill street covered in snow and/or ice is non-trivial.

- sham1 3y agoEh, I'll dispute that. Outside of Oulu, the winter maintenance of bicycle infrastructure is often just barely adequate if even that.
