The only vehicle we know for sure will be used commonly in the far, technologically advanced future are bicycles. Given sci-fi’s massive blind spot with acknowledging bicycles it is pretty funny that sci-fi writers fail to include the surest bet.

Like any possible future, even one with magic hovercraft that fly around on limitless power or one with teleportation, huge amounts of people would still use a bicycle to commute to work for the pleasure and health benefits. Or… work on a massive freighter starship that is most empty? Why WOULDNT you use a bicycle to get around? On the other hand if the far future is an apocalypse… well everyone is definitely by going to be riding bicycles around.

I mean throw a futuristic battery in a bicycle and based on the power output of other sci-fi machines I assume the electric bicycle would have a range of like 1000 miles.

Colonizing a new planet? You could not only bring enough bicycles and associated maintenance equipment to easily provide transportation for current and future colonists, you could also easily bring the equipment to manufacture new bicycles besides maybe the tires. Almost zero infrastructure is needed to start building a bicycle based transportation system and on a volume and weight basis they would probably be one of the most valuable tools to a colony that was going to receive a shipment of supplies from a starship and then be left to fend for themselves for an extended period.
