Sweden and Denmark are 47th and 44th in the number of cars per capita. They aren’t even in the lower 2/3 of countries. Out of the lowest half of countries on the list, the only one where it regularly gets cold is Greenland.
Entirely orthogonal to the discussion. These countries are wealthy and do have lots of suburban and rural areas where families are likely to have one or multiple cars.
That doesn’t in any way contradict the fact that many people in Copenhagen and Stockholm cycle daily, regardless of the season. And in case you haven’t been: there’s regularly rain and/or snow.
I don’t understand where this idea comes from that spending 15 minutes outside when it’s barely freezing is some kind of superhuman feat. Like, bruh, it’s chilly, put on a coat and get over it.
