Most useless superhero accessory

You all don’t realize he pedals it
- That would be a great idea. I mean, I am more than twice as fast on a bike than by foot and I can drive more than 10 times as far. Just imagine what Flash could accomplish with a bike
  
  Now I’m picturing Flash pedalling his mountain bike to punch Darkseid in the face
  
  I would assume the rubber and maybe even medal would all melt. Not to mention how hard it would be to control.
- He moves it from location to location, piece by piece.
Think about doing an escort quest where the NPC walks at 25% your speed and how irritating it is to have to keep waiting for them. Now imagine the NPC moves at %0.0025 or your speed instead. If he ever wants to travel with any companions, this might be more to protect his sanity than anything.
- He could just pick up the npc. Not like he's never been shown to accelerate mere mortal fleshbags to relativistic speeds almost instantaneously.
  
  I don't read comics but I've hung out with enough comic nerds to pick up secondhand that the speed force and power cosmic are just straight bullshit. They do whatever. Think you found a problem or plot hole? Nah, magical powers specifically address that. Because magic.
- Those assassins creed flashbacks, oh my god
The bike's just for impressing the ladies. That's the greatest superpower of them all!
In the comic he loses his/the speedforce. Could imagine it was from that, but deep down I know it was just a toy companytrying to sell parents junky toys.
- Like Spiderman's car
I dunno. I think this is good for Flash. To paraphrase SolidJJ:

Flash: So, to you, I'm moving faster than the speed of sound, circling the globe. But to me, that's walking. Just. Walking. For like a year.
- I'm not understanding. So for the Flash, he's bored of walking and driving a motorcycle is much more entertaining?
  
  Maybe he's physically tired, and is ok getting somewhere slow.
  
  It's taking the elevator in a two story building.
I mean, he probably still gets tired
- He gets two tired
He needs it to get to Chipotle when he's very low on energy
Shadow the hedgehog also has a bike. Although Shadow's bike is dope as fuck
- so not useless
For when he needs to go slower.
Like Eskimos use refrigerators to keep their food from freezing.
You reminded me that when I was 6 I had a dream where Superman showed me his new car.

(Not a car for Clark Kent, a SuperMobile.)

  Lol why the duck does it have fists? Imagine being smacked by a plane flying past you?
I've seen the super speed running effect in the movie. The bike is slower, but at least the other superheroes won't take the piss when he uses it.
I'm sure his legs get tired from all that running.
do the velocities add up? If so there is still some mild gain.
Wait till you see his van.
- Its where he put the kids aint it? 😅
  
  I don't think so because it doesn't have FREE SPEED written on it
  
  It's a van, not a microwave.

A more appropriate bike would have Delorean capabilities
Can't even go offroad.

All that runnin' around has gotta get tiring after a while though, no?
What do you think his shoes are made of though
- Speed.
- Tiny motorcycles
