I'm not a photographer, but I used to cycle on a single speed bike a lot, and I'd often think about the holy trinity of bike gears. It's fun to think of trinities as some kind of perfect combination size for anything.

The photography world has 1 wide angle + 1 kit + 1 tele lens as their holy trinity. It's not just this youtube video, tons of people use this paradigm as their buyers guide.
I personally never vibed with that. For one I like a fixed focal length for the middle one. I don't buy wide angles anymore, the panorama mode from phones are 60MP now. And I like gimmick lenses like Anamorphics.
Idk how this is for your biking stuff? Are there outlier people that don't go for the classics and choose a different trinity instead too?

I haven't cycled since I left the bike crazy place where I used to live before moving to Austin, and I never sought out the bicycle gear trinity in detail, but I always imagined anything more than three gears for commuter bikes is overkill - one for steep climbing, one for less steep climbing, one for flat land.
Most people in Davis used a single-speed with a free wheel or a fixed gear (ie if the wheels are spinning so are the pedals) which only have one gear. Then, if you were to get a bike with gears it'd have 8 or more speeds with front and rear derailieurs.
Trinities aren't sought in bike transmissions like I implied. I guess the trinity was mostly my thing and not a trend. For bike gears, it seems more common to believe more is more.
