The bike is going to be ridden for recreation, for commuting, for errands, taken on trips on airlines and trains, put on top of cars, ridden in all weather. It may be ridden on unpaved as well as paved roads. It needs to carry luggage.

I am curious to hear what % of people who aren't 'keen bike enthusiasts' are frequently(or even infrequently) doing the things you list- bringing their bike on a plane or train?...riding in all sorts of weather?...commuting?...strapping it atop a car?
Can't say I see that stuff frequently happening for those I know or see who aren't keen bike enthusiasts.
