NotJohnSmith comments on Expecting heavy industry greenwashing of this

If its 15 mins by car it's likely a gentle 30 mins ride. A small vespa or motorbike has to be better than a car for that sort of distance - we need to avoid thinking car is the only private transport solution

That doesn’t work when the weather in the winter is always below 0c

Yes, it does. Don't be a naysayer when you haven't tried it; it isn't as daunting as it seems

For him it’s more the heavy rain and lack of safe bike paths… but that’s another discussion.

It does for me (southern uk) but to be fair doesn't often go beyond - 5 and.im driven by something more powerful than environmentalism - cheapness! :)

Edit: I see you said constant below freezing, yeah fair point, that would tip the balance

I know people that cycle all year round and where I live it is decidedly colder and snowier than that all winter.
