Yes, here too. Few days ago I saw a childrens bike parked outside a grocery store. 33speed hybrid (3x11). Where you need 33speeds? There are several similar gear ratio options on the bike. And keeping all the gears working is very difficult. Well, the bike looked quite heavy, but with all those fancy parts on it probably reason for buying it.
