    You live in an urban area right? If you’re in the North of Norway and you still think like this you must be superhuman (I’ve only visited the North of Sweden once in February and I wouldn’t want to cycle anywhere further than 5-10 km in those conditions).

      You live in an urban area right?

      Yes, like about 80-85% of Norwegians inhabitants do. https://www.ssb.no/en/befolkning/folketall/statistikk/tettsteders-befolkning-og-areal.

      Of course, if you live in the woods in the middle of nowhere a bike won’t get you far in winter, but neither gets you a car until the snowplow has come through and dug you out. Skis are much more useful in these conditions.

      I’ve lived in the North and commuted by bike except for days with extreme weather conditions. And again, you shouldn’t be driving then either. Now that I’m a bit older I’d go for an electric bike though, I think.
