The use of bicycles during WWI has a lot of overlap with interests beyond history and WWI. Preppers who hoard bike tires and cycling evangelists would probably be interested in that topic.

When I ask them: "What are you reading? What are you watching? What are you listening to?" Often, the answer is: nothing. Which has a direct effect on their over-use of prompts and AI, because they can't think of ideas, because they are literally not engaging with a single figurative thing.
