Where do you life that snowstorms are a daily concern? McMurdo station?
- throwaway39491 3y agoI live in the middle of Europe. Snowstorms are a daily concern for 2 months of a year. Extreme heat is a daily concern for 2 months of a year, too. And rain is a daily concern for 2-3 months of a year.
- adrianN 3y agoNice so you can cycle without worry for about half the year.
- throwaway39491 3y agoNot going to do that with groceries, and generally it takes too much time and effort (this city is built on a lot of hills) and is too dangerous around here. Nicer bikes get stolen a lot (I lost 3 before I lost my patience and didn't buy another one), cars are much harder to steal.

- xattt 3y agoI don’t hibernate for the other half of the year. I continue to cycle when weather permits. I might have been able to carry enough groceries for myself in two panniers, but it’s not practical for enough food my family. A cargo bike might carry four or so grocery bins, but not the six to eight I now get on my biweekly shop.
