Assigning different bikes (gear) to different activity profiles. MTB, Gravel, Road, etc.

I really cannot fathom what the developers are thinking. It's a fundamental thing, you have multiple bikes (gear) and when you select a profile the profile should map to the bike, why should you have to edit it afterwards in the activities list. I have 4 bikes, the odometer is basically useless as odometer needs to nap to the bike (gear) and selecting it at start is the only logical way to go.
