    It probably would be helpful, but it wouldn’t be that useful in the tropical regions, where you have monsoons with strong rain/wind and hot summers.
    Physical exertion in the sun is not always fun.

      In places like Denmark, The Netherlands, Finland and so on, people bike in pretty much any weather without huge issue, rain, snow, heatwave, doesn’t matter.

      Proper public transport where you can also bring your bike does a lot too.

        Is their weather milder?
        Or do their roads have good shades over bicycle paths?

          I live in a small town in Belgium and we have a saying that says: “there’s no bad weather, only bad clothing”. Granted, the weather here is mild. Doesn’t get too cold, not too hot (except for this week). We do get a lot of rain though, but nothing that a pair of rain trousers and coat can’t handle ;)
