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.

Lord no.
Maybe I’m behind the curve. I sold my car to scrap a while ago and haven’t been able to get another one.
By the way off topic but it sucks so much to not have a car in America. I thought it was like that in general but I started watching NotJustBikes and holy fuck why can’t it be like that here.
What you need is price per calorie, Gas is way cheaper than food, per calorie.
Too bad we can’t eat gas…
It’s a liquid you’d have to drink it

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.
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.
Batman doesn’t always wear black. There’s a time and a place for everything.

It’s canon that Batman wears a rainbow outfit.
Sometimes it’s very dark, dark, dark grey.
In what universe do billionaires end up in prison? Any tips?
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
Sweet, ass ride
Sweet, Ass! Ride.
Godspeed! You sweet ass ride.
They also ain’t calling him back because of how fast he is.
People bring this up a lot, but given the way his body works he can probably reload and go again. His partner would drown in jizz.
The man can vibrate every part of his body, just saying.
Yeah, vibrate through molecules. Doubt they have fun with that.
He doesn’t need a motorbike for that.
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.
Subjectively, a stop light or stop sign must feel like an eternity for this guy. Or conversations, for that matter.
There is a storyline about Quicksilver constantly being frustrated because of how slow everything and everyone is.
This is just what having ADHD is like
I used to think about this way too much. The answer is the Speed Force, the power that various Flashes tap into. So he can move around like a normal person fine. When he wants to go fast, he taps into the Speed Force. He’s not like Quicksilver, who is just fast all the time and has to actually physically slow his body to have a normal conversation, etc. So, I’m sure it’s frustrating because he knows he can just use the Speed Force to do things, but he’s not necessarily perceiving time differently on a regular basis.
It’s canon that he can alter the speed at which information is processed / how he perceives the flow of time / events.
But does that alter his ability to do things at speed? If he does all the housework in s second, can he make it feel like a second, or does the fact that he has to pay attention to what he’s doing mean that subjectively it takes just as long as doing it at normal speed?
I think of it being like how a pro golfer does like a dozen things in the split second it takes them to swing a gold club, and they all have to be perfectly coordinated, but they really don’t think of each and every little movement in sequence as it happens.
I never thought about that. I like it!
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
Shouldn’t Flash be faster if he used an actual bicycle?
I wonder if it could physically withstand being pedaled that quickly
He also bought a van once, but that was when he was single and it was for uh… other stuff.
Because they can charge more for the bigger toy, obviously.
Doesn’t Flash just wanna cruise sometimes? Also, it’s probably great after workouts
Didn’t one of the variations of Flash burn calories when he used his powers. The dude was always eating.
I feel like it was a distinctively Wally West thing. They had Barry go through that in the Flash TV show, but iirc it was introduced with Wally.
I always imagined him riding this for a race, but fully Fred Flintstoneing it when no one is looking.
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.
He enjoys the sensation of driving,
It’s not a bike, it’s a velocipede.
tbf kids don’t employ logic when playing. to them it’s just a cool bike with a recognizable character
