Yep! Very common in Canada. And they are extremely dangerous to drivers. I've lost track of how many of theses winter bikers fell in front of my truck as they struggled to pedal during a snow storm. A near miss all the time and damn it it scares the hell out me. I hope one day I don't kill someone because of their stupidity.
My favorite is: "It takes a big man to cry; but it takes a bigger man to laugh at the man"
