  • 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.



  • This week I finished up Star Wars “The Shadows of Mindor”. Has some interesting lore with some potentially disastrous consequences.

    I’m a little ways into book 3 of the Silo series “Dust”. The entire series has been a fantastic read so far. Just when you think you got a grasp on things, another layer is ripped apart to start unraveling again.

    Up next I have Star Wars “X-Wing” series which consists of 10 books, so my alternate reading while doing this batch will probably be catching up on some my Short story collections. Like Nebula and Hugo yearly “Greats”.
