While most of this is true, I do have one counter point: Bicycles won't burst into flames randomly.
Nor can they be remotely hacked by the CIA/FBI.
Also, I would point out that the Viet Cong were very proficient in transporting a wide variety of arms and goods using bicycles. Mostly as a different form of wheelbarrow, but still, not as useless as you'd think.
Nor will they cause about 40k fatalities per year https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/early-estimate-2021-traffic-fatalities
These are slightly different arguments, but valid points.
