The energy expended in riding that bicycle is almost double the energy required to trek. angry

To me, this is a classical case of cure worse than the ailment. The little girl being a child may be thrilled by this "palliative", but in actual sense, it is no where close to the solution of her daily energy-sapping distant trekking.

However, may God reward her benefactor for making such attempt, and thanks to social media for bringing up her plight to the public. We pray she eventually get the appropriate assistance.

Also, such a long walk on the lonely path is not safe for a girl of her age, human ritualists are on the lookout.

The bicycle is not motorised, she needs to apply effort to move it forward. The applied effort will be used to move her weight as well as that of the bicycle and she will easily get tired as compared to if she was to walk.

There are bicycles with better efficiency but certainly not this one used mainly for playing in the compound.

The above is not true and will defy laws of thermodynamics, which recognizes that, the bicycle does some work along side the little in their combined goal to move from point A to point B.

Even if she have to peddle up a hill, which require more energy compare to walking up the hill; the decent from the require almost zero energy expedition with the bicycle but on foot, you will still expend some energy.

Since this is a round trip through the same path, it means there will be exactly equal amount of ascends and descends, therefor they will cancel out each other...what is left is the kid applying less energy to peddle the bicycle on a level plane resulting in the bicycle wheels covering a larger distant.

Well, this is not even about thermodynamics.

The appropriate law is the law of Mechanics.

If u understand mechanics very well, you will know what I'm driving at.

Even in practice, haven't you seen some people pushing their bicycles rather than riding them, even though the bicycles are not faulty? Especially with loads and ascending? This happens mostly in villages among peasant farmers.

Whoever thought of buying a bicycle for the 8 year girl has finally succeeded in putting the little girl's life in danger.

Now she will be attracting attention from people who hitherto wouldn't give a fvck about her.

Owning a bicycle up north especially in the rural area is like owning a luxury car down south of course it comes with it's own attention both positive and negative.

Little girl I cover you with the Holy spirit even though your parents are slammers and no harm shall come your way.

I give it to the physicist quoting laws up there(simplyleo, linearity and others)
But my fear for this girl are the reckless drivers
Its easier to maneuver/dodge a car when walking than on a bicycle(using the decent from a hill by linearity), this is highly dangerous
Nice gesture from the helper

Bicycle is far better than trekking. Some landscapes are plain, some are ascending hill while others are descending hill.

The bicycle still remain mean of transportation

Something tells me you are not a bicycle riding enthusiast. I used to do a lot of bicycle riding in the past, and I can tell you that it is more fun and more relaxing than trekking under the sun! shocked

Now from trekking 8km a day she’ll ride the same distance. She’ll get less fit but still healthy either way.
