Top right one confuses me. Incliment weather does significantly affect bikes but trains and buses are actually better at operating in incliment weather than cars. Here in Vancouver as soon as it snows (which it just did) everyone seem to get too scared to drive and pile onto public transit, but surprise surprise it can’t cope with the sudden spike in demand because we’re still a car dominated hellhole for the other 364 days of the year and our transit agency gets peanuts in funding compared to private car infrastructure.
I thought the ‘cold rainy night in Stoke’ meme was fairly well-known, but it seems multiple people are not getting it. It is basically asking if a tried and tested method / person can do this one very specific (and relatively easy) thing. Here’s the origin story if you are interested.

Damn, I got whooooshed?
As someone who’s been out on a cold rainy night in Stoke with my bike I’ll have to say that it does actually work.
