Alpha Flyer - 1984 - Bicycle
The Alpha Flyer bicycle is one of the vehicles in Sheltered 2. It is a bicycle that serves as a early game method of travelling.
Overview
The Alpha Flyer is a small bicycle that can be built. As with the other vehicles, it requires its chassis, found in the game's locations. Once you've found a Alpha Flyer chassis, you can place it in a garage that isn't fully occupied. As it is a small vehicle, you can fit two Alpha Flyers in one garage.
Statistics
The Alpha Flyer has very poor stats compared to the other vehicles, due to it being meant to be used early on. It doesn't reduce any tiredness after parties return, and it only fits one person. It increases carrying capacity by 50 lbs, about as much as the Child's Schoolbag.
While it is a little bit faster than sending your expeditions on foot, it is more worth it to just send 2 or more people on foot. Plus, there is a skill in the 
Perception skill tree named "Marching Songs", which increases travel speed when on foot. While that skill only increases travel speed by 5%, and when maxed out 15%, having multiple people with good backpacks can be more worth sending out than only having one person with a backpack and Alpha Flyer.
