@ascentale @bikenite A7.. I'd forgotten about Paperboy (I had a C64 not a Speccie). Honorary mention to the track cycling in Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (on the wii).
ICMYI my question was prompted by this toot which I will leave for you to enjoy:

Incidentally searching Mastodon for the phrase "bloody cyclists" gives an amusing feed (with no injuries, don't worry) amd I think the hash tag #BloodyCyclists has a bright future.

@ascentale @FourT4 @bikenite I recently played through Wheel World:

It was fun, and visually very distinctive. And very bike.
@lkanies @ascentale @FourT4 @bikenite not finished this yet but it’s an interesting game around biking!
@ascentale @FourT4 @bikenite Lomely Mountains: Downhill is a sweet little game of downhill mountain biking
@saltbaygull @ascentale @FourT4 @bikenite a great game that can be very frustrating! 😂
A7. Never played it, but I really like the bicycle graphics in the old "Paperboy" video game.
Forgot the name of it, but loved the large sit-down pedal video game where you powered a winged bicycle in the air. Way too expensive but so much fun. Viewpoint was you behind the handlebars.
@ascentale @FourT4 @bikenite The beginning of an Arma 2 campaign mission has Force Recon Marines riding mountain bikes to get to a helipad or something. It literally got me back on a bike for the first time since high school
@ascentale @FourT4 @bikenite A7: I was disappointed by Cities Skylines lack of bike stuff, but once I found the right mods I've been having fun building cities with minimal cars.
@ascentale @FourT4 @bikenite A7: I haven't played many games in forever, but I used to like playing Paperboy when it was in arcades b/c that was my first job and also the only job I got to ride a bike for on a regular basis! #BikeNite
@genex @ascentale @FourT4 @bikenite Paperboy is a classic! I loved playing that game on my ZX Spectrum back in the day. #BikeNite
@genex @ascentale @FourT4 @bikenite You beat me to that one. I loved this game on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum #BikeNite
