I was just thinking, he must have been awfully clever being the son of God and all that. So why didn't he invent stuff to make life easier? I realise it would of been hard (and suspicious) to invent the car or washing machine etc, but I think a bicycle would have been something that people of the time might have thought "why didn't I think of that?" I heard someone say the expression "Christ on a bike" the other day, and it made me think of this question. Thanks for any input you can give :)

Actually, the bicycle since 1870 or so depended on the ready availability of relatively high quality steels and more recently aluminium alloys. So it is actually a fairly high tech product.



2000 years ago iron let alone steel was very expensive.



However more efficient windmills, water mills, aqueducts or many forms of ancient engineering and building could have been improved by these divinely inspired prophets. It is rather telling that they never quite managed to do any of that practical stuff. I wonder if some of them could tie their sandals on without setting themselves on fire.

definite - seems..... Jesus became right into a in call for bicycle seat sniffer - and that's because of the fact he ought to time return and forth - being he became into god and each little thing. So besides - he became into familiar with the bicycle seat - and then it hit him! A Holy Bicycle could be suited for the little roads in Nazareth. and that's how Jesus invented the bicycle.

He should have invented condoms, so that we could spread love with ease.
