  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.

    Well, in the tv series his shoes start burning if he doesn’t use his specific flash shoes. So surely he needs a special bike.

    About handling you might be right, but I can’t image running at speeds faster than sound without crashing into everything either

      Wouldn’t he phase while riding and go through everything?

    He has a suit that doesn’t melt to his skin. If his people can make a costume, they can make a bike …. Trying to image the precision you’d need on those bearings

      I was under the impression he was surrounded by the speed force which drops certain characteristics of physics. Things like friction from wind don’t apply to him and I’d guess his suit too?

        It would probably depends on what you’re watching or reading. It was a big deal in the show for him to destroy his clothes at the start and then start labs built him the suit that could take it
