This would make his speed 4x faster and thus way better at
his job.
Offshoots:
*Get the flash a Canoe!
*Get the flash a butter churn!

Who or what is "the flash"? |

Can a bicycle even turn at speed? |
|
| |
After a fashion, yes; it rather depends how strong your desire is to retain any element of directional control. |
|
| |
If you attempt a narrow-radius turn at high velocity, you will undoubtedly finish up moving in a direction very different from your original trajectory. Just how different tends to depend on which emergency room (or indeed mortuary) the paramedics decide to deliver you to. |

8th with super human speed comes super human
reflexes. I belive the flash while people may not be
able to do controlled turns at speed i belive the flash
would have more than enough time to react. |
|
| |
It's not Flash's reactions but rather the physics of the bicycle
tire and turning mechanics. Give him a tron-cycle. |

The canoe would be better. |
|
| |
Not in the vast majority of urban areas (Venice and Amsterdam excluded). |
|
| |
Serious question: provided the driver is skilled cant
mechanical limitations of wheeled vehicles be
overcome? race car drivers can recover from skids by
counterseering and reducing speed, and etc. |
|
| |
His reflexes may be fast enough but, unless his weight increases with speed, centrifugal force is not his friend. |
|
| |
We're gonna need a bigger oil-can. |
|

(2 fries) thats what all of the churned butter is for! |

What would be the impulse force on the chain I wonder? |
|
| |
Not a significant problem - motorcycle chain drives and frames can transmit 100kW without issues. It's just a matter of correctly sizing the components. |
|
| |
A lightweight frame of aluminium alloy, or titanium, would be strong and stiff enough to retain its geometry. Hardened steel roller chains and sprockets just need appropriate lubrication to operate reliably. |
