    What about those of us who live in colder climates?

    Lipo and silicon carbon lithium batteries are a thing, you can also just wrap some wool around the base of the bike. I use one in 4 foot snow all the time

    I'm more thinking about myself, not the bike. Riding around in freezing temperatures is not my idea of a good time.

    oh, ive been able to do it just wearing a wool dress in -20c. built different i guess 🤷‍♀️

    my tip is to wear good waterproof (and thus windproof) boots and mittens (not gloves)

    I just think it's interesting people are so against bikes in winter when they also love skiing

    I mean, call me crazy but don't want to go skiing every morning before work, and then go skiing again in the afternoon after I've worked a full shift either. Also, never said I was against bikes in the winter, its just not super practical as a primary means of transportation for most people.
