This is consistent with my use of bikes: if it requires any special equipment or preparations whatsoever, I'm not really that interested. Helmets, special clothes, water, locks, repair gear, whatever. That means short rides only. Anything beyond that transitions the use case from "average, practical users" to hobbyists.
