Fins and Swedes bike, you're just cowards. The Dutch bike all year. Freezing rain in the face sucks, but it's better than literally destroying my children's future.

Edit: I live in the Netherlands and bike year round because we do not own a car (family of 4, for the record). Wear a fucking jacket. You're not made of sugar.

    I remember Dutch cycling under the rain, talking with the phone in one hand, umbrella in the other and wearing heels.

    They are crazy, in the right way. I miss how bike centric Groningen was when I moved out.
