As an avid recreational cyclist, I would much rather be active on a bike in Sweden in the winter time, then in virtually anywhere in the USA's south east or southwest, and even in the northeast, during the summertime. I'll still do it because I like riding, but I would never want to have to ride anywhere for any exertion-inducing length of time outside of a purely recreational scenario. I will be completely soaked and that's awful for everybody involved.
