Comment on Paris’ $160M Plan to Boost Cycling

Comments

The weather is too poor here to make this a realistic solution. We try to velib as much as we can, but you can only reliably bike maybe 4 months out of the year if you're lucky. The remaining days are either too wet or too cold or both. No amount of bike lanes or police enforcement can change the generally miserable weather of Paris.

I think it's safe to say the weather in Amsterdam or Copenhagen is at least as bad as in Paris. (disclosure: i didn't downvote you)

How cold is too cold?

(I cycle round the year in Finland)
