    In places like Denmark, The Netherlands, Finland and so on, people bike in pretty much any weather without huge issue, rain, snow, heatwave, doesn’t matter.

    Proper public transport where you can also bring your bike does a lot too.

      Is their weather mild/good most of the time?
      Or do their bicycle paths have good shades?

        I live in a small town in Belgium and we have a saying that says: “there’s no bad weather, only bad clothing”. Granted, the weather here is mild. Doesn’t get too cold, not too hot (except for this week). We do get a lot of rain though, but nothing that a pair of rain trousers and coat can’t handle ;) Biking infrastructure is something else though… It’s far from perfect over here.
