Absolutely, she’ll need medication if she finds out what Gino Bartalli got up to on a bike in WW2!

This is a windup, right? Please tell me it's humour and not some kind of critical theory logic.
She's writing that on a computer or smart phone: doesn't she know the Nazis used computers?
And N*zis used trains, and aircraft, and H'tler travelled by car. And so did people in the British Empire, that makes every driver a N*zi and a British Imperialist, and also a Communist* under this logic.
*Because... well, why not?

She's got a point though. Bicycles have been (arguably) to blame for a lot of things, as this Twitter thread points out

Even though this has an engine, I'm counting this as a bicycle as it has pedals
Look at it, a bicycle with a machine gun!

Ps In all seriousness this was quite a clever idea for the time (1899), armoured/mobile warfare concepts were either not known or in their early stages. I quite like the idea if not the execution.

I recall it was suggested that the bicycle was responsible for an increase in average height in rural France over a few generations because people could travel further to spread their genes.
I have no idea if it is true.

Cycle commuters were already dealing with the same problems as we do, it appears.
I’m in rural France right now and plan to do a bit of a ride tomorrow. 🤔
