    Not really. I live in Northern British Columbia and there are people riding their bikes in all weather. Ebikes have a temperature limit, but you can get winter tires for your bicycle. Unless you drive for a living, it’s perfectly reasonable.

        Fair enough, but if only rural people drove and everyone else walked, rode bike or transit in town it would make a huge difference.

      It does depend. I live maybe 5 miles from the closest dollar general and maybe 15 from the closest town.

        Read my other comments in this thread and you’d see the answer is clearly no, I am not suggesting that. It’s almost like you intentionally ignored the fact that I already addressed rural commuters and attacked an earlier comment to avoid that I had.

          Yeah I did, because I didn’t know I was expected to read every other interaction you’ve had in this thread before I could comment.

          Obviously I’m not supposed to do that!!
