Pretty much everything on a bicycle is simpler, lighter and more efficient than a car. Although the lifespan of some of the parts can be lower, bearings, chain and so on.
A car can do tens of thousands of kilometers without even the most basic of maintenance.
A bike can't get away with even a few hundred in comparison.

There are plants and birds and rocks and things, there is sand and hills and rings. The first thing you met is a fly with a buzz, and the sky, with no clouds. The heat may be hot, and the ground may be dry, but the air is full of sound.
Admittedly, the characters may be proxies for the author since there usually seems to be one in each work, but it still seems a bit presumptive to attribute them all the the author as if he actually said these things in society.
