I don’t view it as a hobby but biking in 12 cm of snow with an icy crust isn’t realistic. When the snow hits it’s the train or bus for me.

notapantsday@feddit.de 9 months agoyou also don’t hear about it as much because people tend to bike more in warm weather so it’s more likely for you to go long stretches of time without biking when it’s getting colder.
Off topic, but I think it’s funny how cycling is viewed in different parts of the world. You look at it as a hobby that is naturally done less in the winter. For me it’s just a way to get to work and I still have to work when it’s cold, so obviously I’m still cycling just as much. And this is true for a lot of people, the bike rack at my job is almost as full in the winter as it is in the summer.

Yeah, it’s entirely the way the city is design. Biking to work save shit tons of money and time from fuel, traffic jam, and maintenance, and if people are given the choice of doing it safely, a lot will shift into biking.
