5·1 day agoNo. But everyone should have a basic understanding how electricity works, so they’re not surprised that they better switch it off when working on the wiring and can at least make a guess of how it’ll behave once powered.
They don’t need to get into the dynamics of capacitors, diodes, transistors or other electronic components, but having heard of them certainly wouldn’t hurt.

But my observation is that people seem predominantly opposed to the idea.

One’s really heavy, the other is a little lighter.
The only way this joke works, IMO, because it delays the pun for as long possible.

OK. So bicycles have, as the name suggests, two wheels. The front wheel can be rotated for steering, while the rear wheel is for acceleration. You accelerate by alternately pushing down the pedals located approximately in the middle. Force is transferred from the pedals to the rear wheel usually via a chain, but other solutions, like a belt or axle, exist.
Since the wheels are in line the construction is prone to tipping to the side, so keeping the balance while sitting on it takes some practice.
But once you get the hang of it it’s one of the most versatile modes of transportation, with specialised bicycles (or “bikes” for short) for off-road use, extra light ones for racing, etc.
