These pictures are amazing and I admire the spirit. But could you just clarify one thing. These people as usual are bicycling in their regular clothes and apparently on their way to work or some place similar. When they get there aren't their clothes going to be soaking wet from head to toe?

they're wearing the same clothes as they would as pedestrians, so i'm assuming that they have chosen clothes that can withstand snow and cold.

Cyclingred, I can answer that.

proper winter-clothing (for whatever level of winter you have) will remain cold on the outside if they insulate correctly. Thus, the snow will never melt, and can be brushed off before you go inside.
Only if your body-heat leech through the clothing to melt the snow, will you be wet (and cold)

The only part of my clothing that's wet when I arrive is my scarf, because it covers my mouth, and my breath condense on it.
