I mostly agree with all of this as somebody who did a lot of riding.

I used to be in much better shape, probably because I usually used a bike to get places.

I’m going to allow anybody disabled to get to where they need to be the easiest and safest way possible without any judgement.

I much prefer a rack on the back of the bike than a backpack. I’ve taken a 12 pack of Coca Cola bottles home on my bike plus my normal cargo. No problem.

I used to ride in -30C and snow. Fenders and a jacket will keep you pretty dry.

20km/hr is considered a normal pace. It was usually slower to take a bus and people still did that.



A “jacket” for -30C/-22F. Asking 99.9% of people to ride their bike in those temps is a complete non-starter.


99.9% of people never deal with that temperature on a daily or even monthly basis.
