Yes… irl…. Not post-dysto and sci-fi like the post is actually about…
A war isn’t post-dysto mate, just a backstory, like I addressed already.
For the military bikes you also have heavy equipment to clear routes when needed as well, they have their specific use cases. They aren’t general purpose like you would need.
A mountain bike sucks for cross country, a cross country bike sucks for mountains. Bikes have limited uses, very.
Mountain biking is for sport, not for traversing across country.
It also kinda only works one way… down hill… doesn’t work on flat lands, doesn’t work up hill.
Lmfao.
The arguments are valid, if you cared about thinking this through for more than half a second.
There’s a reason bikes aren’t shown in post-dysto, they are a terrible form of transportation, for the multiple of reasons I’ve stated, and much much more.
If bikes are being used, there’s a very good chance it’s not in a post-dysto stage yet. Maybe in pre stories they have a place, but in post-dysto, they just don’t work in the narrative.
In real life, yeah, there’s uses, until we get to said post-dysto state that is ourselves.
Sure, if you’re not constantly getting off of it it to get around the obstacles.
Tire gets bent easy.
Can’t haul much weight.
Can’t duck or suddenly hide behind something.
Cant juke.
It’s dead weight when you don’t need it.
Easily stolen.
There’s no plus, unless you specifically make a scenario that they work. Like there’s no debris everywhere, or not potholes from missiles.
Too easy a target while riding one of those bad boys.
Graphite or silicone lube only, WD-40 attracts dust and will kill it faster.
You usually use WD-40 to clean grease up, it doesn’t really “lubricate”. It displaces water.
Sometimes you only go for the opening act/s.
And? The textile industry predates electronics by a LONG time. It’s not just a “spool rack” if that came after…
Are you suggesting that electronics came before textiles…?
Pretty sure this one predates yours by a couple centuries.
In the image there’s 2019 mate.
Oh… maybe done so the new one is the only result? That makes this a hell if a lot less of an issue.
The friction also helps clean off the contacts for better connection.
Legally? They can’t drive.
Anyone with an episode is barred from driving for 6 months, and if you have frequent episodes, well you don’t drive.
Driving is a privilege, not a right, if you can’t drive, you don’t get to. End of discussion.
This is in Canada, and would be shocked if it was much different elsewhere.
Some of the books even explain the “circumstances” of why they missed or certain doors closed or open at specific times. People having a change of heart, the right agent in the right place, someone just happens to see something on a video and open that door. Silly stuff like that.
Just tape some cups to your head? Same effect.
