Simon Brooke"We have noted before that this is the fastest ride to zero-carbon; almost anyone can ride an e-bike for six miles under almost any conditions. If there were safe places to ride and secure places to park, then millions of car trips could be avoided, and millions of cars taken off the road"
Wilhelm Gere@Wgere You mean like this? Yes, clearly this is impossible. No, of course no one would do it.
Oh, wait, 42% of the total population does...
Morning rush: kids cycling to school in winter in Oulu, Finland
@simon_brooke Kids, on a nice plowed safe no motor vehicle bike path. Sure, why not?
Commuting to work in rural SK areas when it's literally -50C, no.
And frankly it's bloody dangerous for bikes in urban areas here, even in summer.
@Wgere A nice safe ploughed cyclepath, north of the Arctic Circle, ploughed three times every day through the winter, yes.
Stop looking for excuses. Fix your local government.
@simon_brooke They don't hardly plow the roads out here. The government fines drivers for owning EVs. Oil and gas companies own them. I didn't say that I was against bikes only it's just not happening here. Especially in winter
