I am from the Netherlands. Bicycles all over the place. And now I am imagining a Mad-Max-style reinforced bicycle for Bubbles... One that could flatten a car if cornered...
And Hanners, dear, don't worry. I am 56, and still feel like I am playing pretend on a real life. That's what real life is.
BenRG:
Well, a new character arc for Hannelore isn't something that I expected Jeph to trail any time soon. However, he has hinted to it by the way May reacted to being in the presence of The Creator's Daughter. Maybe Hannelore has been thinking about her potential influence over the AIs and how this could be used, for good or for ill. Maybe she honestly thinks that she has the responsibility to counterbalance her mother's shameless malignancy and even undo the harm that she has doubtless done to many over the years.
Still, Faye is right: Best to start with small steps. She's hardly ready to start running a metanational industrial conglomerate just yet!
Meanwhile, I suspect that Bubbles has been putting together a bucket list of things that she has never done and, now she thinks about it, regrets not doing it. However, the sort of bicycle that would support her ~300lb frame would probably look more like the comic version of Judge Dredd's Lawmaster motorcycle!
sitnspin:
As someone with a fair amount of economic privilege combined with, at times, crippling mental health issues, I identify with Hanners here. I too have struggled with the fear that I am not making enough use of my privilege to help people. Much of the time it takes most of what I have just to stay alive/relatively stable, but I can't help but think I'm not doing enough.

Nah. You just replace the aluminum frame with a higher density metal and give it solid rubber tires.
Tova:
A modern carbon fibre bike with appropriately specced wheels should be able to cope with Bubbles' frame just fine. She would not be the only 140kg or 150kg, rider out there, even in this universe.
