So the thing for me isn’t the temperature nor the depth of the snow. It’s sharing space with cars and contending with the very real possibility of falling and getting my head crushed like a grape.
I quite liked using my fat bike in the park through the snow. But on a road with cars on ice? There’s a reason I sold it.
Also, I would literally sweat going downhill on that thing.
Greatly used in Montreal too for instance, but problem is winter, riding in a foot of snow while it’s -20, not easy…
Same when its over 110 F out…
Electric bikes work quite nicely in this scenario. Beautiful cooling breeze with minimal, if any, effort.
I lived in Phoenix for a few years, with a car that had no air conditioning. It felt like a hairdryer with the windows open.
Absolutely. Cars are solar ovens and windows down isn’t going to help my sweaty back. But if you’re not in an enclosed space, it’s a bit better.
I parked underneath solar panels at work (Intel). Even then it was like getting into an oven.
Cars perform even worse in snow.
