Reply to comment by [deleted] in SUVs emitted more carbon dioxide last year than most countries by filosoful

because riding an e bike or any type of bike is laughable when you live where you can freeze to death being outside for ten minutes

edit: guys i’m just saying biking isn’t practical for everyone* I agree SUVs are retarded. I saw a lone woman get out of a brand new Denali the other day at the grocery store and the thing was practically a school bus.

Because you americans are all a bunch of wusses who cant even be bothered to duck a little when getting into a car, let alone travel further than a few meters from your home without one.... I use my bike 365 days a year, from -20 to 30+°C and its perfectly fine.

I give you Finland. If cities in NA actually bothered to do any kind of proper bike infrastructure (and actually maintain it) biking in the winter would be very possible, and could even be enjoyable. And I say that coming from one of the harshest winter climates in North America.

They make these crazy things nowadays called clothes. You can put them on your body, and it actually traps in the heat that you produces to keep you warm. I know it's hard to believe, but people all over the world go outside for longer than ten minutes, and they don't die.

I bike in -25*C for more than 10 km per day... when the road is plowed it is not difficult at all. People are just weak
