You all don’t realize he pedals it

[–] colmear@discuss.tchncs.de 55 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That would be a great idea. I mean, I am more than twice as fast on a bike than by foot and I can drive more than 10 times as far. Just imagine what Flash could accomplish with a bike

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 year ago

Now I’m picturing Flash pedalling his mountain bike to punch Darkseid in the face

[–] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I would assume the rubber and maybe even medal would all melt. Not to mention how hard it would be to control.

[–] colmear@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, in the tv series his shoes start burning if he doesn’t use his specific flash shoes. So surely he needs a special bike.

About handling you might be right, but I can’t image running at speeds faster than sound without crashing into everything either

He has a suit that doesn’t melt to his skin. If his people can make a costume, they can make a bike …. Trying to imagine the precision you’d need on those bearings

[–] BugleFingers@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was under the impression he was surrounded by the speed force which drops certain characteristics of physics. Things like friction from wind don't apply to him and I'd guess his suit too?

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It would probably depends on what you’re watching or reading. It was a big deal in the show for him to destroy his clothes at the start and then start labs built him the suit that could take it

[–] BugleFingers@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That's fair, when it comes to anything super hero it basically comes down to what source you want to pull from

[–] tryitout@infosec.pub 4 points 1 year ago

He needs a bike with like 1000 gears

[–] Starkstruck@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

something something batman makes him a super special bike that can withstand his speeds

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 year ago

He moves it from location to location, piece by piece.

[–] Glowy@lemmy.world 58 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Think about doing an escort quest where the NPC walks at 25% your speed and how irritating it is to have to keep waiting for them. Now imagine the NPC moves at %0.0025 or your speed instead. If he ever wants to travel with any companions, this might be more to protect his sanity than anything.

[–] herrvogel@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He could just pick up the npc. Not like he's never been shown to accelerate mere mortal fleshbags to relativistic speeds almost instantaneously.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't read comics but I've hung out with enough comic nerds to pick up secondhand that the speed force and power cosmic are just straight bullshit. They do whatever. Think you found a problem or plot hole? Nah, magical powers specifically address that. Because magic.

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

A wizard did it.

The bike's just for impressing the ladies. That's the greatest superpower of them all!

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

And people say Batman doesn't have any powers

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah, he's rich. That's a real superpower (as we see in the real world far too often)

Chicks love the car.

[–] The_Tired_Horizon@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In the comic he loses his/the speedforce. Could imagine it was from that, but deep down I know it was just a toy companytrying to sell parents junky toys.

I dunno. I think this is good for Flash. To paraphrase SolidJJ:

Flash: So, to you, I'm moving faster than the speed of sound, circling the globe. But to me, that's walking. Just. Walking. For like a year.

[–] Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm not understanding. So for the Flash, he's bored of walking and driving a motorcycle is much more entertaining?

[–] kksgandhi@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe he's physically tired, and is ok getting somewhere slow.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Or maybe he doesn't feel like eating a dozen honey buns and a bunch of pizzas and surge to get his caloric intake.

[–] papertowels@lemmy.one 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's taking the elevator in a two story building.

I mean, he probably still gets tired

[–] couch1potato@lemmy.dbzer0.com 30 points 1 year ago

He gets two tired

[–] ScruffyDucky@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

He needs it to get to Chipotle when he's very low on energy

[–] Drinvictus@discuss.tchncs.de 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Shadow the hedgehog also has a bike. Although Shadow's bike is dope as fuck

[–] Vilian@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

so not useless

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

For when he needs to go slower.
Like Eskimos use refrigerators to keep their food from freezing.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You reminded me that when I was 6 I had a dream where Superman showed me his new car.

(Not a car for Clark Kent, a SuperMobile.)

[–] wabafee@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 10 points 1 year ago

I've seen the super speed running effect in the movie. The bike is slower, but at least the other superheroes won't take the piss when he uses it.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 9 points 1 year ago

I'm sure his legs get tired from all that running.

[–] HBK@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] The_Tired_Horizon@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Its where he put the kids aint it? 😅

[–] ScruffyDucky@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I don't think so because it doesn't have FREE SPEED written on it

do the velocities add up? If so there is still some mild gain.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I don't need to force my dog to pull me around in my red wagon. It's just fun.

[–] JoShmoe@ani.social 7 points 1 year ago

A more appropriate bike would have Delorean capabilities

[–] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago

Can't even go offroad.

All that runnin' around has gotta get tiring after a while though, no?

[–] boatsnhos931@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It's so those hos can see him flexing

[–] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What do you think his shoes are made of though
