But living in Germany was a completely different story in winter going under 30 degrees under 0, 3-4 hours less daylight than in Spain or Portugal, and cloudy all day.
It is extremely disgusting to breath fast, like you need when in the bike when the air is so cold. Somebody should invent something for it.
On the other hand, in most of Spain you can't go around in summer with your bike, but it is great in Germany, Austria or Switzerland.
Already invented, it is called shawl.
(Maybe something linking "to wear" and "weather" could work in English…)
It literally means what adrianN said.
I'm slowly learning Danish, so I envy Swedish for the nice pronunciation.
As others have pointed out, weather is only a bummer when you're not properly clothed (I'm over-generalizing here, but you get the picture). It also helps to live on a place where the average temperature never goes down below 24ºC [2]. On the down side, it rains a lot here. When I say a lot, a do mean a lot.
Bicycles are fun. I couldn't imagine myself living without one.
I used to leave the office stressed about a bad meeting or whatever and arrive home serene.
