Cyclist’s mantra: There is never bad weather, only bad clothes.
If only plows existed.
They won't if you get rid of cars. Good luck plowing with a bike.
You don’t use a car to plow the sidewalk. It’s too wide. Why would think a cycle path doesn’t have the same problem? Of course you use a bicycle to plow a cycle path.
Have you ever experienced actual snow? Like, four feet deep with a frozen crust on top? You're not plowing that with your feet.
Yes, in Minnesota. I shoveled it but just as well could have used a snow blower. I certainly would not have driven a car or truck onto a path as narrow as a sidewalk.
