Just for reference, as someone who doesn't live rurally, the only point that a bicycle can't reasonably fulfill above is 8., and indeed, when I do need to move heavy belongings around (pretty rare), or take other people (not too often thankfully) I'll use a car.
Most of the journeys I take on my bike would take twice as long in a car, including time to find parking, walking to/from where car is parked etc., so a bike easily wins on 2.
But sure, on 4. it loses out in rainy/cold weather. Otherwise the physical pleasure of riding a bike far exceeds that of driving a car.
I'm curious why you come across so many crazy people riding bikes, or why your bike would smell so bad...
