Actually, Liu Chuanfeng would have preferred to ride a bicycle, preferably an old-school heavy-duty roadster—the kind of prop that can only be used when trying to woo a wealthy older woman.
Whether from movies and TV shows or personal experiences, many people probably rode on the back of one of those heavy bicycles when they were kids, either perched on the front bar or sitting on the back. Liu Chuanfeng remembered when old Liu used to ride one, with him sitting on the rear rack, his foot accidentally getting caught in the spokes. No matter how hard old Liu pedaled, the bike wouldn't budge. Back then, proud and hot-headed old Liu refused to accept defeat and stood right up on the pedals, which made it terribly rough on the young Liu.
By the same token, the wealthy woman might have ridden on a heavy roadster as a child. From his past interactions with her, he knew her parents had passed away long ago, and he could deduce from everyday details that she must miss them dearly.
