Bicycles

I was just reading the brainstorming list for the ECO Living Stuff Pack, and I had noticed that bicycles weren't on the list. Bicycles would fit very nicely in this pack. Since they are a form of Eco living transportation. And they can travel across almost any terrain. So having no roads in some areas of the game won't have any impact on having bicycles in the game. And neither would the loading screens since sims can ride the bicycles for several feet, and then trigger that when traveling to another lot or main world.

(Roadtrip Game Pack, anyone?)
? I don't think so, it's just a peddling animation that can be played on loop.
I really like the idea of bicycles working like the houseboats, where you can choose where to cycle rather than being tied to a predefined path on the road.
And there could be an option to 'cycle around' the neighbourhood, where your sim just cycles around the open areas.
That said...
Bicycles for fitness (the stationary ones) might be fine for animating within an SP. For transportation; the stopping, going, potential wobbling and crashes -- that could be too much for an SP maybe.
It could act the same as the 'go jogging' option and build fitness.
STOP quoting everything I write just to contradict me. That's what I would call harassment.
Rock climbing is a few looped animations that play out on a static object.
There is no transportation in this game. To add any transportation would require an immense amount of programming. And the actual animation of a Sim sitting on a bike would be a completely new position. Objects which require a new position like that are too much for an SP (as Graham has stated about bunk beds, recliners, watching TV in bed, etc.).
Everything I've said is common sense and based on what Gurus have actually stated. There are limitations to what could be included in an SP, but people seem to ignore them.
Responding to people is how to discuss with others on the forum
I'm not trying to contradict you or even target you -- but you are one of the most vocal people currently with differing views. Sorry; but sometimes people will want to discuss things with you, especially if they are interested in understanding your point of view.
The did have that teaser billboard in some picture that was posted. I would love the railway to work, call a taxi for a fee, bikes, and automobiles to be added. A car lot to buy them and the car lot attendant job would be awesome.
