Please tell me more about how easy it is to move furniture with a VW Polo!
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 picked a subcompact car, rather than a vehicle that any person with more than one braincell would pick for moving furniture, such as a truck.

You 100% will have a better time doing everything else I said in even a subcompact like the Polo than a bicycle.
