I have some coworkers, that have E-Bikes, live 5km from the office and ride their bikes maybe 10x per year because there is a 5% chance of rain today, or it's too cold (15°C) or it's too hot (25°C) or whatever other excuse. Very sad...

    As someone who hasn't missed a single day due to riding my e-bike 9kms to work and once rode it to work through a snowstorm I can sympathize with this.

    It's almost comical how even just a little bit of rain can deter people from taking their bike. On sunny days I sometimes barely have room on the bike paths, but if the weather forecast is even a little bit ominous I almost always have the roads all to myself.
