Well … Flash burns a shit ton of calories when he runs. So the bike saves him like 20 Pizzas/Day
he gets tired sometimes ok
Wants to save money on food ok.
Isn’t gas more expensive?
In a lot of Flash canon, his metabolism is/was insane. That might have been before the Speedforce took root as the extradimensional power source.
Beats the shit outta walkin’.
Maybe they should start a club.
Spider-man had a spiderbuggy that could drive up walls and hop between buildings, later used more practically by Deadpool, who can’t innately do any of those things.
There was way more usage than I even realized for this thing. Spider-Cycle
Not being an expert on the lore, I’d be willing to bet it exists solely for merchandising
Dude probably just gets tired of running everywhere.
He can run around the world in a second, but the catch is he has to run around the world.
And if he’s able to react and avoid running into things, it means he’s experiencing more time, so that 2 seconds might feel more like the normal amount of time it would take to run that far.
And hopefully his reaction time increases with his speed, otherwise every 2 seconds would seem like they are long enough to run around the world in.
I had a Batman action figure with a bright prison orange suit. The least stealthy suit possible. But I was 8 and thought it looked cool and begged my mom for it.
In what universe do billionaires end up in prison? Any tips?
If Batman didn’t want to be seen he wouldn’t dress up as a bat.
Batman doesn’t always wear black. There’s a time and a place for everything.
Orange suit is for infiltrating pumpkin displays at grocery stores.
For picking up chicks. Dude may be the fastest man alive but no lady gonna give him the time of day unless he got a sweet ass ride.
Sweet Ass-Ride
Because they can charge more for the bigger toy, obviously.
Shouldn’t Flash be faster if he used an actual bicycle?
I wonder if it could physically withstand being pedaled that quickly
His body and everything else around him can handle it, so why not a bike? Like at a certain point, he’d be accelerating fast enough to just step out of his shoes and costume from his leg movement. Though he’s often shown going from a standstill to moving faster than your eyes can follow, which should probably leave his clothes behind.
Probably bits of his body, too. Like the iterarions of him that could hit or exceed the speed of light are moving fast enough that running into air would probably feel more like a cement wall, plus a bunch of ionization effects just from the sheer friction.
There’s that ask xykd about a baseball being thrown at some high portion of c and iirc, the conclusion was that everyone in the stadium and in some radius of it would die and that was just for a baseball. A full person would be an order of magnitude bigger. Even The Boys didn’t quite get it right in their premiere, it would have been more violent than just his gf getting vapourized (though not sure that guy was going close to c, so it might not be “everyone within 100m of him dies when he runs”, but he wouldn’t need to run into someone to affect them at “just” faster than you can follow with your eyes).
Warframe recently added bikes you can use in normal missions. The player character already has acess to like a million other movement options that are way better than bikes in practically every environment. It makes good noises though!
Satisfactory added in a cybertruck that can only turn left an has square wheels that aren’t matched to each other!
Useless things can be fun!
The window is also broken.
I imagine that his perception of time is also affected when he uses his super speed. Yes, he can run from one side of the continent to the other and back in a fraction of a second. But from his perspective, he just ran nonstop for an entire month.
It’s canon that he can alter the speed at which information is processed / how he perceives the flow of time / events.
