Did you watch the video?

The point is that the infrastructure is a WAY more important factor than weather, but weather is cited as a major factor for sticking with car infrastructure.

    Ok yeah I get the point but like...I've literally went places on my bike and got sweaty and stinky because it was too hot.

    It's the reason I decided to spend a decent chunk of change on an electrification kit for my bike, along with some tools needed to install the kit. Now 30 min bike ride is a lot easier to do with a torque sensing motor and with exceptions of ice, extreme heat, and mud (no disks brakes) I'll bike instead of drive.

    But still, the weather is a concern because physics still exist
