You just need maintained, pleasant bikeped routes

Weather, though. Not every place is California.

They can be in the shade. Besides, bad weather causes car accidents anyway

Other countries mange this with proper clothing and a variety of alternative public transit options.

Rain Capes are a popular solution for rainy weather when cycling.

Or you chose to avoid the bike that day and take the bus/streetcar/metro/etc.

I live in NYC and by far my favorite aspect is being able to decide between a variety for transit options that best suit the specific trip I’m making. For example, I typically commute by bike, but if it’s raining I can easily switch that trip to be on the subway.

There's very little correlation between cities with good bikeped culture and cities with good weather. The only factor that's highly correlated is quality of the bikeped network. This idea is a flat-out myth.
