Reply to comment by SausageMcFlurry in Traffic SUCKS! by DrBiochemistry

Commuting by bicycle in the city during a snowstorm isn't what I would call intelligent if you value safety at all

That's an issue of infrastructure, maintenance, etc. Plenty of snowy countries in Europe maintain their bike paths and bike lanes year round.

Though the commenter is being a of a dick I'll admit - it's not like everyone can bike long distances, or will when we've built suburbs sprawling out for tens of miles. Ideally we would have developed the core metro, built up a strong transit network, and walking/cycling/micro mobility in general would be easier if people had 2 mile commutes instead of 20 mile ones.

Oh for sure, not saying it can't be made more safe. I'm talking about current conditions/attitudes

If you value safety at all don’t drive in a city. Pedestrians, cyclists and T riders don’t kill people, only drivers do.
