Bike to work - in winter? - True idiots

[ecoforce]

They should be banned in the Winter and should be fully responsible for all accidents caused by them.
This should be considered the danger to the society as it could kill someone or disrupt the social transport system.

It's a truly idiotic move.

Plain stupid people.

i agree its a hazard but mostly to themselves as long as my insurance covers any damage their carcass does to the underside of my vehicle I'm ok with it. Should be interesting if it hits -8 tonight lol

I can,t believe there are people in city government thinking this is a good idea..I guess they are nuts too!

[ecoforce]

By all means I would say go ahead in the area that is not frozen, but here? right?

[AlienSoldier]

People ride bikes in all winter weather and in small and major cities everywhere. I guess Kelowna is just different..

guess what idiots, you can get winter tires for bikes too. road bikes don't work so well anything else is just fine in the winter

well, it is a good indication of the intelligence, so it's okay. I will just look at them as idiots.

Yesterday would have been a great day to ride to work. I don't have a problem with it as long as people use common sense. One day last week I was driving down Gordon at about 6:15 am. There was some dufus riding in the right vehicle lane, dressed in dark clothing, with no lights on his bike when there is a perfectly good separate bike/run/walk lane along that stretch of road. I'm really surprised the guy didn't get hit.

You seem to be taking this pretty personally. Is it really okay?

Bikes with actual winter tires on them can be safely ridden in the winter, no problem. These threads always make me laugh - are people really so upset about this or did the OP get into some sort of accident...
