I was excited for the bikes in discover University until I found out that children can't use them. Why? What excuse is it this time? Children use bikes too, so why can't they use them in this pack?
They are probably waiting to put them in some type of family pack I suppose. It has to be worthwhile for EA to spend any money on them otherwise does it?
Glad to see no one is using the excuse that University is a pack for adults seeing as kids cant be vampires witches or mermaids and neither of those features came in a adult specific pack. Ignoring every life stage besides adult is just what Sims 4 does and the Sims team need to be called out on it so they can do better.
Sims 4 went from "You Rule" to "One of the stories we want you to tell"
Adding the animations for children and bikes would have been some extra work. Teens/YA/Adults/Elders all have the same skeleton so it's much easier to make something for them. They might have had to make a second smaller sized bike for them and that's more work too.
I didn't know children couldn't ride the bikes. that is just sad. and if and when they can I hope it comes in a update because I dont want to have to pay again. I'm not sure I got my money worth with University.

Adults have several transportation options
- teleport (wellness skill from spa day)
- fly as bat's (vampires)
- sail with boats (island living)
- fly on brooms (RoM)
- ride bikes (discover university)
children have nothing
But it is a general trend. We now had 3 packs in a row without even any toddler/child CAS items (mochino, RoM and DU) .
I still hope we will get bikes for children one day even if it looks highly unlikely at the moment.
