[833] The Netherlands experienced some real winter weather. Does that stop the cycling? More information in the blog post: https://bicycledutch.wordpress.com/?p=20510
At least in Germany cycling through snow is much safer than without cause many cars are stuck in the snow, and the streets are much more empty. Just gotte keep in mind to avoid cornering too hard.
One country further east, in areas more hilly than the Netherlands, and with much more snow and ice in winter, you may even encounter cyclists riding their bikes using street legal studded tyres!
Several facts to be known here: First European cities are much smaller and have been designed to commute green. Second economies have been altered and killed jobs and business to achieve their green utopia. American cities are vast and very easily transformed to be green without large number of causalities in jobs!
Lol- every winter i almost fall from my bike XD. Its been a while since i fell lol, most dutch people (not all so dont attack me) eventually learn that if they feel they’re falling to set they’re leg down. Its an quick reaction and you have to learn it but its really worth it :). Also if you fall make sure to land on your hands it can hurt your wrists but its better than falling on your head and losing a tooth. When falling normally i also do this and my hands hurt a bit but the more it happens the less it hurts 🙂 thank me later 😉
My husband as a child would cycle through a foot of snow with his bike to go to his elementary i just asked…why would you not just walk.. he said he was already half ways there and he didnt want to get off the bike.. even though it would be faster to just walk… old people were just passing by him like.. something is very wrong with u child. XD

In the Netherlands we say: “zooooo daar ben ik net toch is ff op me bek gegaan” And I think thats beautiful

When the floor is covered with snow it makes even more fun to cycle… so yeah, also in Switzerland we do cycle when it snows.
Normally i would say: he kut ben op mijn bek geflikkerd
It's the cycle of life
Cycling continues, no matter what..
What else could you use when trains stop and busses aren't on time, walking??
