I’ve been playing Wheel World. It’s silly hipster fun, but I’d rather get on my real bike and ride. Where are the cycling equivalents of Crazy Taxi or Road Rash?

    In order to be appealing in a game, you need a sense of speed and bikes just don’t scream “speed” to me.

    Jet Moto was excellent back in the day, but Jet Skis, not bikes.

    Article references Jet Set Radio, but again, skates, not bikes.

    You’d need, I dunno, some equivalent of Wipeout but with bikes instead of hovercraft.

        Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is a spiritual successor to JSR, and while I’m not sure if it’s base game content, it has steam workshop support for custom movesets, including bikes, monowheel things, and skateboards.
