I've seen that video before, but never the snow and ice one. THAT was interesting. I can't imagine cycling in the snow and ice. They are hard-core. Although, if that's the way your society is, you do it no matter what. I would love to live there (for that and other reasons).

That's an interesting article in the WSJ. I guess when it's a part of the culture like it is, changing that at the base level would be difficult.
