Thanks, zoom-zoom. Just for the record, I was just speaking for Norway ("here"), because I know Norwegian society better. I know, I'm lucky to live in a city that has good public transport, and where I can bike to work. Many people outside of the bigger towns don't have this, and high gas prices will affect them unfairly much. But no way are people going to kick up a fuss and demand better bus routes if the easiest and cheapest way to travel always and forever is by car.
Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin
