Snow?bicycle

Looking for a snowbicycle, a bike in the snow? Can it be this one?

Today I had the opportunity to visit the best Norwegian city for cycling, Lillestrøm, a winner in a survey last year. But it appears that this ranking does not cover the winter season. How can it be that this city was the best Norwegian city for cycling throughout the year when the situation in winter is so different?
Just outside the station I look for a parking space for bicycles. There are very many bikes, so perhaps they also are in use.

However, areas for cars and pedestrians along the streets are cleared for snow, the marked bicycle lane is not. Dirty and wet snow is stored in the bicycle lane so cyclists have to find their space in between other vehicles.

Lady Mayor of the city is very proud of her position, and has announced that she works for a still top ranking for her city later. She promises her willingness to negotiate with the state road authorities to obtain assurances that the snow should be removed from the bike lane in the future.
