Basically, the deal with recumbent bikes is that one beat the cycle speed record in 1933, causing the manufacturers of regular bikes to freak out and pressurise the Union Cycliste International into declaring they weren’t really bikes. And ever since they’ve been seen as the weird cousin of upright bicycles
They use different muscles from upright bikes, ones which can produce more power for longer periods of time. They’re also potentially more aerodynamic.
However, the use of different muscles means that they take more training to use, and balancing on them is different from balancing on an upright bike, so people trying to switch from one to the other tend to find it frustrating.
If you’re going somewhere, a bicycle that can get you there as quickly as possible is good. But if you’re just doing it for fun or exercise, a bicycle that can get you nowhere in particular as quickly as possible is absolutely necessary.
Okay, I know that the crazy level in St. Charlie is already pretty high, but please let it sink in that the man with the attack bicycles is talking about “Dark Sciences”. Recumbent vs. Upright aside, this suggests that there is madtech out there that is even scarier than what they’re already making!
The apocalypse might have been closer than anybody wanted to think.
That device in his hand looks vaguely familiar.
Kinda like Jonah’s old wrench… or maybe it’s generic equivalent.
…or a one-eyed lobster.
Wonder what Jonah’s doing in this universe…

Assuming it happened to him in this universe.
But besides, *he* wakes up back in 2012. *You* are in 2015, with a dead body and a crazy Biomass…
…biomass gained power, kill it, and boom, crisis retroactively averted.
Jonah’s wrench didn’t have the screw.
Yes, I looked.
i never did get recumvent bycicles

Now where’s Tigerlily Jones and a closet full of coat hangers when you need them?
Ask the bicycles. Coat hangers are their larval stage.
My mistake. Coat hangers are the pupal stage. Paper clips are the larval stage.
I am so mad right now that I didn’t think to put some coat hangers in the bike lab.
I am indebted to the late Avram Davidson for this knowledge.
Is a Very soul anything like a Very light?
Don’t ever ask to see a Leigh Soul.
I first read that as “recombinant” bicycles. Which actually sounds like a pretty good mad science project.
But that’s just a bike made from parts of diferent bycicles… which I guess can be kinda xool, but is preaty sane.
It’s only sane if they don’t do it on their own.

In this world the apocalypse would be a regularly scheduled event if they could just agree on a schedule.
