One need only look at the number of people riding bikes through-out the Nordic countries to realize that we are not reinventing the bike-wheel here, when it comes to whether biking in inclement weather is feasible. While we dither about whether separating bikes and cars is a good idea, other cities, including many in northern climes, are moving ahead with investments in this area including things like operating the fat-tire bike rental-exchange systems throughout their downtown cores.

It sometimes seems like this is a topic where it is as if this is some crazy idea that no one has ever tried before ("Bike lanes? We don't need no stinking bike lanes! When I was kid my parents made me drive uphill in both directions while steering through traffic blindfolded. If it was good enough for me it is good enough for kids today dammit!").
