Ok, but. Get this. There are places in the world, that have to deal with negative temperatures and heavy snow. Bikes are downright dangerous in non-ideal conditions

Just because it doesn't seem realistic in one place does not mean it cannot work. Cycling in winter seems to be a non-issue in Finland, for instance.

I don't live in Finland, but I do ride my bike for fitness in bad weather. Last weekend I got snowed on, it was actually quite fun.

Places like Finland deal with this effectively. This is just automobile propaganda. https://youtu.be/Uhx-26GfCBU
