No offence, but you're strawmaning heavily here.

I mean sure, you're right, the weather in the Netherlands is as nice as those picture only for a couple of months per year, but that's not the point of the article, nor does it prove/disprove anything.

The Dutch cycle year round, and while it is true that traffic in the summer is like double, cycling is still the main form of transportation for a significant portion of the population.

I'm quite sure the post was tongue-in-cheek. The point was basically that Dutch weather isn't great, disguised as a complain of propaganda.
