    Have you lived in Norway? It’s a low density country and also very cold a lot of the year. You’re not cycling around for a lot of journeys.

      Brother, i live in sweden. Also people all over the nordics cycle. A lot of people cycle in coppenhagen for example. Same in stockholm tho id argue that weather in stockholm is actually legit better than coppenhagen even tho its quite a bit more northern. Also ive been on cycling holidays to norway. So no, its not too cold for cycling.

        Copenhagen is about the same latitude as north England or Ireland. It’s not mountainous and fairly warm. It’s great for cycling, especially with the water buses. (I really like Copenhagen)

        Norway is rather different on the whole. Outside of Oslo or the larger towns I doubt you’d see as much, especially as you go north.

      As someone living in Norway, Norway could do a lot more to be less car-centric. It could also do a lot less, that’s true, it’s not nearly as bad as other places, but I would like to see a lot more drastic changes to reduce or eliminate cars, especially in urban areas
