Because it is quite distracting – no matter who you are – to see a scantily clad Amazonian war goddess (or a couple of Mad scientists) floating around in mid-air.
Hey, just because you CAN break the sound barrier with your face doesn’t mean you enjoy doing so. Ever tried riding a convertible at high speed with long hair? Wonderful thing, windshields and pressurised cabins.
If you could run as fast as a car, you’d probably still want to drive sometimes. Although the Flash does tend to run ludicrously long distances pretty casually, so.
Also, that’s a consequence of the DC Adventure book trying to capture all classic elements of a character with a lot of contradictory versions.
Because the bicycles are invisible, enemy sharpshooters can neither target the hydraulics nor target the rider by shooting through the chinks. Also, you can tan while you fight crime.
So far the bicycle scientists have not sold anyone on the “tan while you fight crime” potential, not even by throwing in transparent aluminum breast plate, but they remain hopeful.
To be fair, humans are much worse at pinpointing via sound than via vision.
Ever have a watch or cellphone alarm go off, and you know it’s in the room, but you can’t for the life of you figure out where exactly until you actually SEE it?
Yeah, it’s like that. If you walked into a room while invisible and shouted, you’d alert everyone in the room that you are present, but they wouldn’t know exactly where.
But they could just follow the speech bubble tails!
More seriously, as has been said before, if your goal is to not get shot at, you’re still giving the other guy an indication of which direction to shoot in
I always wondered that about WW’s invisible airplane.

especially floating sitting down. If she at least pretended to run through the air, she might not raise that many eyebrows
According to the DC Adventures Heroes and Villains books, the Invisible Jet provides Wonder Woman with Flight 11.
Also according to the DC Adventures Heroes and Villains books, Wonder Woman has, innately, Flight 11.
To be fair, you don’t get a kick-ass cup holder naturally with Wonder Woman.
Wonder Woman can totally hold a cup while kicking ass.
How do you know where to find the cup holder if it’s invisible?
You don’t find the cup holder. You make it go wherever you need it to be with your mind.
It’s the thing with your cup in it, obviously
Is it possible that she just likes to fly in a seated position as it’s more comfortable and is trolling batman by claiming to have an invisible jet?
I like to think of this as my headcanon.
It’s mine now, too.
But but… the little white lines in Super Friends!
I’ve seen a drawing of that. It’s amazing.
The plane gives her Flight 11, but she already has Flight 11…
So what you’re saying is that her invisible jet is… just for looks.
Hey, just because you CAN break the sound barrier with your face doesn’t mean you enjoy doing so. Ever tried riding a convertible at high speed with long hair? Wonderful thing, windshields and pressurised cabins.
Pro-tip, you’re supposed to tie your long hair back when riding in a convertible at high speeds with the top down.
Maybe it’s easier to carry three other people that way?

Overlooked secondary powers, e.g. for the Flash to be able to run from, say, Border Field State Park, California to Van Buren, Maine in seconds, he first has to be able to run straight from one to the other at all.

It’s a test. The recumbent is to our right.
How could they tell?
They could tell? That’s impossible!
“We just flew in from St. Charlie…boy are our legs tired.”
A beautiful snarky twist. Thank you, Robert. And WW can come any way she wants to.
Applause!
What’s the point of being invisible if you’re just going to shout out where you are?

Probably aiming the veggie ack-ack guns right now…
