== mc2 bike ==

I was thinking of putting it in penny farthing article, as a new approach to that type and essentially a foldable penny farthing but then I saw it has 8 modes and one is recumbent mode. It's World's first "Multi-Configuration Cycle" or Transforming bike. It seems that it can be bought, not a prototype. So what to do with that. It seems that it's too little content for it's own article. [[Special:Contributions/95.178.222.9|95.178.222.9]] ([[User talk:95.178.222.9|talk]]) 01:06, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

:Can I have more information on this please? I think that from this information, it should be conjoined with the Types of bikes. [[User:Sportsfangnome|Sportsfangnome]] ([[User talk:Sportsfangnome|talk]]) 14:56, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

== Injuries on Bike ==

I think that there should be a new heading on injuries of a bicycle, for example, it can have a picture, a subheading of minor and major injuries, minor being cuts while major being accidents with a car, if someone agrees or disagrees with me, let me know! [[User:Sportsfangnome|Sportsfangnome]] ([[User talk:Sportsfangnome|talk]]) 14:53, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

== Bicycle ownership per country ==

I'm surprised I can't find either a table, or a map anywhere on Wikipedia about this.

It would be interesting to show how many estimated bicycles there are in comparison to the population. I'm thinking of a "The lighter the shade of blue, the lower the percentage in the bike owner/population ratio".

"Since a moving bicycle makes little noise, some countries insist that bicycles have a warning bell for use when approaching pedestrians, equestrians, and other cyclists, though sometimes a car horn can be used when a 12 volt battery is available.[citation needed]"

A motorcycle is a motorized bicycle, and while it has evolved, the basic control principles are the same. Plus technology often crosses over (disc brakes are an example to source an explore). I think the link should be shown to a much stronger degree. Especially with the mention of ebikes in the lead section which by definition are a type of electric moped. Electric bikes also do not currently have a clear line between motorcycle and bicycle. At the very least I propose the suggested links include motorcycle.
