I was speaking anecdotally, but it’s good to back that up with some data.

Page 15, Table 1 shows a clean table, with Denmark in the bottom 10 for large hail size in European countries; relative to places like Germany, large hail (the kinds you’d really want to avoid while on a bike) in Denmark is considerably more rare. That study only has two citations, though, so not the greatest source.

This survey is much better cited and comments on hail throughout Europe and in Denmark, but I can’t access the PDF at the moment: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0169809516300291

I never said they don’t get hail, I said they don’t get regular hail. In general, hail is uncommon in Denmark, and large hail is even more rare.

Yeah… pretty sure Denmark doesn’t get regular thunderstorms or hail storms.

Taking a vacation road trip from Florida to the Grand Canyon with three kids with only bikes also comes at quite the cost. Bikes are great, but in many practical scenarios they are slow. Not all of us live in Manhattan, or a dense city, or even a well connected and safe to traverse suburb.

Bikes cost time.
