I'm fluent in both and I'll use either at any time depending what suits, I also use centimetres

Nearly 4 decades on and the imperial measurements are still being used by everyone, even youngsters, without a second thought. Ask them what size bike they ride, if it's not a racing bike it's stated in inches.
What size rims do you have on your car? 13s 14s 15s 16s 17s ... thats inches.

Australia fully converting to metric is a milestone that's yet to be reached.
