it's pretty typical in Germany that kids of all (school) ages bike to and from school, basically every day of the year. I did.

Why, it's much better for the kids to just take the bus, it's more practical and easier, and they don't have the risk of sitting cold and wet in school, what's the point of stubbornly cycling in shitty weather
I'm more concerned by heatstrokes in this case.
I also had to cycle my whole childhood to school, and I don't see the point at all, it just felt like some kind of unnecessary punishment and some creepy amish like way of being against technology
