I understand Winter, but it's not Winter all year round. There's plenty of summer as well. Hell, Alaska was hotter than Arizona this year. Bikes are a perfectly valid means for transportation- especially since cars cost so much.
Of course bikes probably wouldn't be a great idea for winter months, but there are other vehicles (3-wheelers, snowboards, etc) which may be better suited.
Riding a bike in the Alaskan winter would be pretty damn hardcore. I'm not surprised people aren't choosing that as their primary mode of transportation.
