When I lived in the Netherlands it always seemed like anyone over 30 had a war story of how they used to cycle in such harsh conditions. I used to cycle 18km to get to work and if I would tell a Dutch person it was always "Oh that's nothing, I used to cycle twice that distance in the snow uphill when I was younger!" Generally the rain was fine, it was the wind that can make you feel like someone is pushing against your bike that really got to me.
