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.
