Bicycles in a fantasy World.

Not gonna lie, the Nazgul BMXing across Eriador would be a baller scene.

Pedal without rythm and we won't attract the worm.

People would move slower than they would ahorse, and you might end up a different sort of tired instead of saddle-sore when you arrive, but you don't need to pay for feed and (as much for) upkeep.

Also I guess they'd be less useful than bicycles as we know them, since don't most fantasy settings not really know about rubber?

Also you can't carry as much, since you can't get a pack-bicycle that you lead with your own.

And going up and down mountains would be fucking exhausting, since you're still walking for at least half of it.

Road construction/maintainance contracts suddenly become big business.

We kind of had this in a campaign awhile back. One of the major cities had banned horses inside the city walls so everyone road bikes around paved streets. We all had a good laugh imagining the wizard with his big billowing robe peddling around the city.

It came about when a union formed from all the horse shit street cleaners started causing political shenanigans and the court wizard coming up with a solution from something he saw on another plane during his planar adventuring days. Some other spellcasters were starting to look into self propelled versions at the time as well.

This is a clever idea. I can see it happening in a society that never encounters trainable mounts, for instance. Bicycle knights! Bicycle cavalry!
