Doing groceries for a family is an ordeal in a city with only public transport. Bicycles are useless for family groceries no matter having baskets and racks and there are no baskets and racks on city owned bikes. Cities with cold winters are even worse. Also terrible going to work in rainy weather or high winds. Bus routes go by their time and not yours and can add hours to your work week plus you have to be early in case they are and stand out in the elements while waiting.

But.. but... that youtuber told us that bicycles are awesome in any weather, for any purpose. See, there's a town in Finland where kids ride bicycles to school even in winter! /s
