What's a bicycle?
*whispers are heard*
"It's a rolling conveyance that's even lamer than an Autobot? And it doesn't transform?!? Why would anyone bother with that!?"

Um, none, we guess. Maybe some immigrant or another bothered with mastering what certainly seems to be a really primitive contraption.

What percentage of your population currently owns a bicycle?: There's this one guy who has a museum of what Earthians once called "technology..."

At what age can you ride a bicycle/ do most people learn to ride a bicycle?: We don't. Decepticons have no desire to go crawling around on the ground like metal maggots. Plus, we'd look stupid on those contraptions.

Are bicycles a viable and common form of transportation in your nation? Of course not, for the reasons mentioned above. Plus, Decepticons know how to FLY!

Are there laws protecting cyclists?: LOLno.

Are bicycles popular as an alternative to cars?: "Alternative to cars" makes it sound as if someone would actually want to ride in one of those 4-wheeled robicidal transforming maniacs, and is settling for something less. We don't want anything to do with either!

Do many major cities have safe and numerous bicycle lanes? None at all.

Does the government do anything to encourage bicycle use?: No, and in fact, would probably investigate a bicyclist for "activities unbecoming of a Decepticon." One of us perched on a bike would be a scene that would cause laughter, rather than the desired fear and awe, in foreigners who saw him.
