Huffy Gila. They rent them out to the newly arrived in Hell. 20 kgs of pure mild steel and brittle plastic.

Bike? They'd have to be compulsive drivers wouldn't
they? Probably need a nice big F250 to carry their fat
arses between home and work computer terminals aka
troll workstations and Maccas.

I sort of have an idea... but why are they called "Trolls"?

As far as I can tell. it's soundalike confusion and then a sort of joke.

The original idea was "trawl", where you put bait in the water, towing
it alongside the boat, and along comes the little fishie. It bites the
bait, gets hooked, and you tow it alongside, playing with it.

Some folk had heard the word, didn't know that spelling, and conflated
it with the monster, so you get "troll".

US spelling. you go 'trolling' for Bass in upstate NY
(in between playing tennis at the club and mtb'ing after watching one's stock climb higher...)

There is no bucket seat option for these guys.

Kmart cycles are well to expensive for these guys takes away from their maccas and peepshow money.
Id say a Cashconverter special (old generic brand single speed road bike with bmx handel bars and a "tuff" for the front wheel)
