Bikes!

[Sktr Boy]

Wouldn't it be cool if you could move from point a to point b without atracting half the population of zombies to your car? Well with bikes you could! It would be silent and fun to use, speed could be affected by your weight, you could have the option to make the bike heavier or lighter, you could have lights and a bell, but also it would tire you out! You can't just pedal to eternity, you would need to take breaks and such, maybe drink some water. You could have part of the usefullnes of cars without so much the noise!

 

Of course you would have limited storage space (Only a front casket) but it would be something. Also you wouldn't need gas but you would need to oil it and maybe put back the chain when it goes out by just riding it. It could also have a little thing in the backwheel for another player to ride with you, maybe also a little water bottle thingy in the body of the bike if they are sporty bikes. And also talking about sport bikes you could have different bikes! City riding bikes with a basket in the front, sport bikes wich are fast and have a watter bottle thingy, BMX that go really well in concrete and also mountain bikes for the forests and such!

 

All in all i think bikes would be a perfect thing to add to the game and it would also let you have more fun with the mechanics skill so yeah, i would love to see it in the game!

Yes, would be great, with hard fall, reapairing and limit speed, improve fitness waist energy.

Models, one heavy, one sport, and mountain. <3

I support this idea.

I agree with everything here, YES. Had this thought the other day when walking past a bike in game. You can even pick it up and bring it home already. My only thought is that they should add Motorcycles alongside this! Basic Cruisers for getting around, speedy Street Bikes for cities, Touring bikes with extra storage for travelling, Dirt bikes for offroading. Mechanics could add on a sidecar for MP too. Obviously these would be faster than cars, while requiring much less fuel. The tradeoff would come from the fact that zombies could easily scratch or even grab you and pull you off. If you crashed, you would get thrown and damaged much more than you would in a car. Riding helmets could be given additional functionality here. All bikes would be much louder than cars, but their better handling and acceleration makes it easier to navigate hordes.

Survivor body weight and fitness should affect how likely a fall is. Higher exertion, hunger, thirst, and fatigue penalties as well. Of course, falling should damage or even break the bike. Repairing it shouldn't take that much Mechanics skill, but finding the parts like chains, pedals, and handlebars would be difficult. This is probably a necessary balance to stop low fitness and Overweight/Obese characters using bikes inside a safe area to quickly level up fitness or lose weight early game.
