How many random people I see on the street could get around on a bicycle? Probably all of them. Where I live, most of them actually did. Of course: I live in the Netherlands.
Fat people: Most people aren't super-fat, though those that are ... do ride bikes.
Skinny people: Not a problem
Old people: Often use an E-bike. Although I've seen 80 year olds riding without assistance just fine. (And beating me to my destination besides)
Young People: Get kicked outside by their Moms in the morning, rain or wind or snow. "Kids are not the wicked witch of the west, you won't melt. Now get to school young man/lady/other , and don't let me get a call from the headmaster saying you were late!"
Disabled people: There are many ways to modify bikes for diverse disabilities (including pedalling with hands, having 3 or 4 wheels, etc).
Me? I actually drive a car a lot. I like driving, I need to travel long distances, and where I live the car infrastructure is pretty decent too. And most drivers are pretty good, because people who don't want to drive don't have to.
