Most people in India drive bycicle mostly because there is no other option the family can afford. It is an upgrade of being forced to walk everywhere.

Those that can afford it, quickly upgrade to motorbikes.

I rode bycicle for a couple of times in Norway and Switzerland during snowy Winters, no thanks.

I have a 20 minute commute on bicycle in Switzerland, and in winter it just means I need gloves, a jacket and maybe rain pants if it's raining.

Good for you, when I rode bycicle to CERN, for two years, it was because I did not have a choice, thus cycling with -15° C (in some bad days) it was.

I jumped of joy when I could get a green plates car, and wasn't an happy fellow when it broke down a couple of months later.

Are motorcycles somehow cooler than bicycles?

Yes, thanks to the wind when driving fast.
