bicycles

[exogravis 13]

asking the question:

should bicycles be a common find in the Stand alone and mod?

I feel they should be common to find because running around on foot will take its toll on players.

Perhaps.

As long as bicycles can't silently move at 70 kph over untended fields in the standalone... they need to nerf bikes!

Hello there

bikes should be available, but not for the reasons you state.

Also as you walk around how many bikes do you see on a daily basis? Yes, they should be ingame but not common. Especially not to aid poor players getting sore fingers.

I feel the rarity for bikes should be about the same. They should be slower and have worse offroad performance.

There are already mountain bikes in Arma II, but they didn't put them in DayZ.

When I walk around, I see 20+ bikes a day.

[OrLoK 16185]

Exactly! It really varies from region to region, which means there should not be a de facto large amount of them available.

Nerf bikes. Bikes need fuel!

Nah, joke. But it would be good that riding a bike will make you have to eat/drink faster.

Bicycles are far more common then you make them out to be orlok. It would look like many of the developed countries in Europe and America don't do Bikes. Europe use the mass transit system of trains and buses. America, every one just about owns a car. Though there are a few contries in europe that still have a high bike ratio like Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands which has a 30% bike ratio on the streets for example.

Transportation by Bicycle.

Moscow, Russia 24 percent

bikes should be more common but maybe have them in a poor state of repair.

The mountain bike in Taviana, or is it just origins, I forget, is pretty cool doing over 100mph down the mountain.

I don't generally use them though, I tend to concentrate too much on cycling and less on watching my surroundings... and end up cycling in to trouble.

I do, however, cycle to work :D

[OrLoK 16185]

I'm not making them out to be rare, I think folk are missing my point.

In the context of the game they should NOT be a common item IMHO and even when located should not be in perfect condition.

That is KPH, 100 KPH is about 60MPH. 60 KPH is about 35 MPH. Which is all pretty realistic on a bike.

Well, it felt like mph :lol:

I'm part of that confused generation caught between metric and imperial and as a consequence I'm always wrong. :rolleyes:

Riding a bike is way more efficient than running, so it should drain your hunger/thirst slower than if you're running.

OP: Yes. They are supposed to be common, but I rarely find them. And that's never at their spawn points, so I end up stealing someone's.

And I always lose those pesky rascals after logging out.

On nice days i'll see 10-30 bikes and I live in the states. Used to see around a hundred when I lived in Philadelphia.

And speaking of bikes, my favorate way to get around Chernarussa is with the bike. its silent. Fairly quick, and dosn't need any fuel. Only down side I can think of is that they take damage real easy.
