A picture of a guy on a bicycle taken from a window. The roads are covered in snow and the weather looks cold and miserable. Caption reads “This dude has to be either going to get weed or pussy.”

      Eh, while the Dutch are great bikers they aren’t super snow resistant, especially with global warming snowfalls are getting rare and a couple centimeters brings the country to a halt (but yeah they still bike).

        Dutchman here. I love riding in fresh snow. Very serene, empty roads, and plenty of grip. It takes effort, and I’ll be wearing lots of layers, so I’m very warm.

        Fuck old snow or black ice though. Like you say, snow is rare so I don’t have studded tires or chains and stuff. Usually the cycle tracks are well salted and plowed though. There’s even an app mhat can de bicycle route planning over plowed roads only.
