21 gear bikes are not a rarity even in the north german plains where I live

It is not amount of gears that matter, it is range of transmission that does.

For bad weather there's clothing.

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.

Nobody says a bike is perfect for everyone.

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.
