You are the one saying no-one would do it. I was explaining that wasn't a fact. I live now in Toronto and people are fine cycling in the summer (40º) and winter (-5º) all year long because of better infrastructure. Which is the point of the article. | ||

Some additional anecdata (and actual data) is that Chicago has the highest cyclist increase out of any city in the US as a result of better infrastructure being installed [0] The anecedata is I see far more people biking year round in Chicago (even in the pretty brutal subzero January/February temps) than I ever can recall. Granted it's a very flat city without much elevation changes, but there's definitely the spectrum of extreme heat in the summer and extreme cold in winter that doesn't seem to stop anybody [0] https://chi.streetsblog.org/2024/05/28/cdot-built-it-they-ca... | ||
