This sub is pointless until it can provide a solution to having to get somewhere 30 miles from here when it's 10 below outside for most of the winter.

Dont give me that it's not always 10 below excuse. It is often 10 below or lower for long stretches in the north. Biking is simply not viable or practical.

Look at this example. Looks like it's 80 and sunny with the top down on a convertible and everyone in summer clothes.

Everyone doesn't live in Arizona, kar Karen.

If we assume there isn't another solution to that, why does it matter? Why does your need for a car for your specific use negate any use of alternatives anywhere? We can still advocate for better transportation and land use in cities, even if the proposed solution doesn't work for your journey between Plunkett and Blucher.

"It's sometimes cold, therefore you can never bike"

Solid take there.
