>>1363154>Bikes are for fun and exerciseThis is what happens when a generation grows up the default bicycle being sporty roadbikes made for racing
of course those are not made for transport. They got skinny summer tires, brakes that dont work in wet, a chain that eats normal pants, derailleurs that break and stop working proprley after 100 miles, no fenders, no rack to carry +5kg loads, and position the rider in an uncomfortable, hunched forward position that put strain on wrists and necks, and require a physique that of an ostrich to work properly
Pic related is a proper transportation bicycle. Equip it with e-assist and you now have a machine to replace the car within a 50 mile radius. Buy some proper rain clothes and you can cycle 90% of the year.
