Having lived in US (NJ, great weather for biking!) and NL (that I left partially because the weather was too depressing) - yep, weather doesn’t mean shit when choosing transportation modes

    Bad weather doesn't exist, only bad clothing. It's about perspective, I have come to believe.

    Det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlig klær.

    In short term, I agree. So deciding transportation falls in that category. On long term, constant get and rain does impact your mood. After years of getting worse and worse seasonal depression I just gave up and moved to literally sunnier lands

    People can of course have a preference of weather/temperature, however, the 'bad' weather in the Netherlands is often exaggerated.

    And I have called rain 'bad weather' as well, but it took a change in perspective to see that rain is neither good nor bad (it is just a logical consequence of our ecosystem). I now enjoy the occasional rain shower or overcast days.
