I cycle like 1,000 miles a year, in UK, and last winter broke a few bones. Not sure I am doing that again. I feel cycling advocates get some strange tunnel vision, we can have other mobility solutions. Perhaps one that is more stable on ice. Current EU law is stupid - if it has pedals, it’s a bicycle even with 4 wheels, but a small scooter is an illegal motorised vehicle.

> I feel cycling advocates get some strange tunnel vision, we can have other mobility solutions. In my case it's because we already have decently good public transit in my area, but next to no cycle infrastructure. So I advocate mostly for the latter. That doesn't mean I don't think public transport is important too, they're a great combination - I cycle to the train station near me all the time! Public transport tends to have a last-mile problem and cycling is a great way around it. The two are additive.
