uuuh in winter we have things like cloths, even warmed gloves and boots when really cold ? Go in Montreal to figure it out, some are biking there even in winter.

I am pulling stats out of my close area, national stats are : For distances of less than 5 kilometers, cars still account for 60% of commutes. Less than 5 km can you imagine ?

Just put your ass on a bike instead of your fingers, and just try to do things

Yes it is.

Because it is handcraft compared to car industry (85 millions/year), and not subsidized at all.

Now how much costs a car ? Not only the price, but globally, if you include health impact, infrastructure needs.

I don't think it is laughable.

A new cargo is 5000€ and you can find used or discounted ones for less than 3000€.

A used car will cost far more in repairs, insurance and gas, my 2010 car is valued around 3000€ and it costs us around 1000-1500€/year.

I don't think bikes can replace cars for everyone, but many people could use a bike instead or their car 95% of the time, when we see that so much people use a car for less than 5 km.

Only concern is safety to use a bike in the middle of fast cars, but a proper infrastructure (separated bike lanes) solves it for a fraction of the cost of roads and parking places.

GET A PAN, the only proper way to reheat a pizza. Crusty crust crusts.

You can even put the pan on your iron if you don't have a stove.
