A comment on Cambridge's Ambitious Protected Bike Lane Law. Parent comment
Routinely. The only weather I have encountered that is really problematic is when it's very windy.
I would also note that the conditions you list are also the conditions under which you shouldn't even be driving.
> Have you ever lived in places that are not perfectly flat? or lived in places that are hot that make bicycling unfeasible?
I live in a very hilly area. I don't know how hot you consider "unfeasible", but we top 100 degrees pretty much every summer.
> Did you have sporting gear / work gear that you had to lug? Did you know some people have to fetch their own gear to work
Yes, I do all of that. An urban bike trailer (easily folds up to briefcase size when needed) solves those problems.
> Have you had to shop for more than a baguette or a bagel at a store? You know how cumbersome that gets for even a family of three?
Again, trailer.
> Do you have the slightest clue how much casual violence and crime happen on public transit?[1]
That's extremely dependent on where you live. Where I live, there is nearly no such problem.
