    Cycling infrastructure in Sweden? That is not possible! Let’s be realistic: bicycles don’t work six months of the year when it is cold outside. Bicycle tracks can’t be plowed, winter tires don’t exist and people can’t wear warm clothing while riding a bike. Nobody ever leaves the house in winter unless they are safely surrounded by a big metal box with an air conditioner attached to it.

    …or at least those are the reasons I’ve heard that explain why we can’t have better cycling infrastructure in Canada.

      I was never super fond of biking in the winter. There are definitely plenty of people biking year round though! If the option is there people will use it.
