This ignores the fact that some people can’t be out as long as others due to being less physically able or having a health condition that makes them more vulnerable to the cold

Climate change is basically killing most of the cold days we have where I live so this is a problem I’m long-term apparently not going to have to deal with. Instead I will have to deal with the way worse type of weather - wet weather.

Dude where I live climate change is making it snow less but get extremely cold (-40c/-40F) multiple times a season thanks to the destabilizing polar vortex. It’s really interesting seeing how different places are impacted by climate change
I suppose in the context of biking that makes it more viable though since you can always dress more appropriately for the weather but you can’t out dress 12" of snow in front of your tires
