      I hear that biking in the snow isn’t actually bad. This is hearsay because it doesn’t snow much where I am.

      You wear your winter coat and snow pants, and get studded tires.

      You don’t have to worry about getting stuck going up an icy hill (because if its too icy to drive up, you can walk up it), granted not likely to be a problem in Wisconsin.

      You don’t have to worry about getting stuck due to low clearance (like the snow between the ruts that hatchbacks and minivans get stuck on) because you can just pick up your bike.

      Also if a pedestrian slips while crossing the road, you probably won’t kill them if you can’t stop in time.

      I guess the wind could be intense. What’s your experience been?
