Plenty of people use their bikes all year round, but yeah -- there's an significant increase as the light and warmth returns each spring. I'd say at my office, maybe 20-30% or so commute by bike all year, and we can all store our bikes in a locked garage along with the cars. Bicyclists and bikes are considered normal and healthy in general, but obviously in downtown Stockholm, there's a war going on between buses, commuters, cars, and hipsters and messengers...

God bless you and the baby to come! Seems that you have a nice healthy bicycle environment. I can certainly relate to the traffic wars. I try not to engage on the road. I try to be like water, I see a crack in the traffic and I fill it. If a truck wants to pass, I move with the wave. It's the buses thatI find unreasonable--a menace to cyclist and motorist alike. Who's winning the argument over there?
