- sudosysgen 3y agoYes, but it doesn't really make a difference. You end up needing the same gear and you get to a point where you expend enough energy biking that you actually have to vent and cool down. The big pain points are salt on the road and lack of infrastructure.
- mardifoufs 3y agoIME, the snow is really the killer for bikes. And there is a lot more snow in Montreal than in anywhere in Europe! The snow is also usually salted, so there's a permanent "slush" like cover on the roads...
