Sure, you can always find exceptions.

But 1000 of 1200 kids ride their bikes to this school in Finland, in -17C weather: https://unofficialnetworks.com/2019/11/20/kids-in-finland-ri...

The people advocating for more biking aren't saying everyone everywhere at every time should ride bikes. They're saying more people, in more places, at more times, should.

Agree. And at the higher end of the temperature spectrum, I've commuted on my bike all through the summer in Austin, Texas, when the temps are routinely 40-43C. Not for everyone, as I had a place to shower and change when I got sweaty, but more <6 mile trips could be made by bike.
