I disagree cycling in winter is nice. Just get some warm clothes and good tyres. A car is also really expensive to own in the city. Why pay for a car and parking when the alternative is almost free and arguably more fun.
It was minus seventeen degrees celsius when I got up yesterday. In the time it would take me to bicycle to work on clear paths/roads - assuming no accidents - I would have frostbite on all of my face unless I was also wearing a full-face helmet.
Could probably rock a balaclava in those temperatures. I bought one in anticipation of winter riding, but the coldest I've ridden this year is -11 C and it wasn't quite necessary yet at that point, but I was debating trying it out.
Climate change is basically killing most of the cold days we have where I live so this is a problem I'm long-term apparently not going to have to deal with. Instead I will have to deal with the way worse type of weather - wet weather.
This ignores the fact that some people can't be out as long as others due to being less physically able or having a health condition that makes them more vulnerable to the cold
This is why there still needs to be access to cars
