It can’t carry a fridge either

The Hell it can't!

(Also, the "carry my weekly shop" bad argument has an entirely different rebuttal.)

I'm certainly not saying that, but if you want to make stupid comparisons about bikes being able to go different directions why not throw in all the stupid comparisons. There's plenty of occasions where a bike is fine, there's also plenty of occasions where it's a dumb choice.

Um... I've personally seen multiple instances of bikes carrying refrigerators around cities. I've seen couches, tables, massive shopping trips, and even piles of other bikes.

Bikes are workhorses if you add a cargo rack or get a cargo bike style design. Here, we have plenty you can rent for big load days.

People and schools use cargo bikes to move upwards of 6 kids each. They're workhorses if you bother to actually use one as such.
