The one thing people always forget; sure in the summer you can bike where you want, but Canada is 2 months summer 10 months winter. And our winters are COLD
I live in Vancouver - not too cold at all. I was ready to buy studded tires after last year, but this winter didn't need them. There are people all over Canada who bike all year, it's really no different than cross country skiing. You just need the right equipment. And drivers who know how to drive on ice, which Vancouver drivers definitely don't.
