      Yeah, you do see that bike lane is separated from the rest of the road by a concrete line so that plow can plow that area separately from the rest of the road, right?

          Do you think maybe, just maybe, it’s possible that there isn’t a single solution for every city and town in the world and there are unique problems they can face which make things other cities can do untenable? Is that even a remote possibility? Or does it not apply to plowing snow?

            I can’t think of a single place in the world that can’t have bikes but can have cars

            You cant think to think of any either, to be honest…

              Good thing I didn’t say it can’t have bikes then. This is what I said:

              Bikes don’t work well in places like where I live when you can easily get 1-2 feet of snow in the winter. Or very icy roads.

              Please don’t put words in my mouth.

                I’m pretty sure you can always solve that problem for bikes if you can solve it for cars

                If you can’t solve it for cars then these places are beyond relevance for urbanism

                  First of all, cars have a much greater grip on the road in icy conditions. So they can handle things like black ice when riding a bicycle on it would be extremely dangerous.

                  But sure, every small city and town with harsh winters are beyond relevance.
