I live in Chicago and the number of people riding bikes, powered or not, including motorcycles for good measure, plummets in the winter. It's not zero, but anyone using them is either desperate or (in the case of not doing or out of sheer necessity) completely nuts. I've lived it, don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about.
Just because you live in a place where not a lot of people use bikes in the winter and the rain doesn't mean that bikes are useless in those cases, which is what you said.
So yeah, I WILL tell you that you don't know what you're talking about when you make such preposterous statements.
