Right lol, you either use a truck or rent a uhaul for that kind of business.
Exactly. And in a hilly/mountainous area, you get a bike with multiple gears (21 gear bikes are not a rarity even in the north german plains where I live) or with electric motor support. If you need to get a lot of groceries you either do groceries more often or get a cargo bike. For bad weather there's clothing.
Nobody says a bike is perfect for everyone. But the vast majority of people live in urban environments and don't need to haul tons of cargo daily. Bikes are a piece of the puzzle and if only those people had a car who actually need one often it could be a huge piece.
It is not amount of gears that matter, it is range of transmission that does.
Yeah, it seems a lot of people just don't know or don't want to know what proper clothing is. Maybe they don't even know it exists.
Well, anyone who can't use bike will use powered wheelchair.
You are completely right. I just don't want to get too nerdy here.
Which is surprising given how many people I see wearing super expensive outdoor/hiking jackets to go from the parking lot to the supermarket every time a drop of rain falls.
