The DDO Chronicle: Issue 441

[JLintheForum]

Because they're still lobbying with the Dragons to use them as Fly Cycles.

[Fnordian]

Bicycles would need to be more magical or steampunkish (perhaps like miniature airships) to fit in. Otherwise they'd look silly in a fantasy game setting like DDO's Eberron.

[beta1]

Why doesn't Eberron have bicycles? There are too many stairs and the kobolds refuse to carry the bikes up and down the stairs for all the lazy citizens.

[Jerevth]

The Coin Lords wouldn't be able to tax them sufficiently and still encourage sales.
House C couldn't safely and efficiently upgrade them with crystals because the design specs clearly require at least four levels of artificer.
House P sees them as a threat.
House J got tired of all the broken bones, sprains, skinned knees and broken teeth.
The Twelve couldn't agree which Mandala would go inside each rim, and a revolution backward is required for every revolution forward.
House K didn't like that the bicycle requires longer legs.

All the bikes in Sharn were tossed off the edges by hooligans and gangs.
Those should start hitting the ground any time now.

[Arkat]

Because the House Cannith Artificers really aren't all that smart.

[dsmwhiteknight]

Our inflatable horses are way more convient. Mine never gets stolen.

[cdbd3rd]

Bicycles....?

Have you ever tried carrying a couple poles, tackle box, net, basket, etc on a bicycle??

'Course, that would only apply IF we could actually fish in this here establishment.

[DrJimmy]

They will, as soon as Warforged evolve into Autobots.

[minipig]

Because rust monsters ate all of them.

[slayson]

Only the kobolds have bicycles. I have seen them in the Crystal Cove Mines very late at night.

[rizd999]

Bicycles? Pfft, who needs bicycles when one can just teleport everywhere? Hmm, although that would help minimize the occasional risk of teleporting to the spot... with a bird's eye view of the Marketplace.

[Breezwyn]

Too many mimics would pretend to be bike racks.

[Edilia]

Legend says there were bicycles once. But the cyclists got overconfident and they raced through the land as if it was all theirs, angering the inhabitants of all Eberron and even many of the deities. After a series of "accidents" (involving walking adventurers, heavy weaponry and descending lightnings) bycicles became extinct.

[RHE]

No rubber trees for tires so flying is easier

[Lanadazia]

cause everyone got plenty of phiarlan pendants of time laying around

[thwart]

The village.

[Mavnimo]

Balance is a dump skill. i

[fatherpirate]

Artificers keep stealing the parts for runearms

[brian14]

Pick any two random points in Harbor. Try riding a bike from one to the other. (Make sure a cleric hireling follows you.)

[Hollermann]

Why ride a bicycle when you can ride an airship and cast dimension door
