I want to ride my Bi-cy-cle...

[Alto (DayZ) 1]

Hello everybody,

So I was thinking today about things I would like to see in this absolutely marvellous, marvellous mod and one thing stood out in my sleep deprived little mind (I havn't had a game make me pull a 24hr straight stint in years, yet alone over 24hrs! But you did it Rocket, man. Late for work and everyone thought I'd been taking drugs whilst I tried to explain that I had just been trying to survive through the night!).

Anyway, as the title suggests what about a few drops of bikes? ARMA2 has mountain bikes in it, lets use them! Nice and quiet but the vulnerably to an attack would be a nice risk/reward, would it not? What do people think?

TLDR: I want a bike. To [fix and] ride it if I like.

I think this idea is great!

I like this idea as well. If I remember correctly, they aren't much good off road, so they would have enough disadvantages to make them sufficiently balanced. I suppose it would be realistic, but if it was realism Rocket was going for, there would be more non destroyed cars. Hell, I have never seen a single enterable car. I understand that it is a balance issue, but it's ridiculous and unrealistic.

All the working cars went up even further north. Zed no like the Arctic, Max taught us that in 'World War Z'.

But to further the thought on bikes:

>Find a bicycle chain, wheels and other related items for fixing.

>Cycling would influence hunger and thirst.

>The cyclist would be susceptible to the rain.

>Hitting a solid object at speed causes falling off. As does being attacked by our groany friends or being hit by a bullet.

>Falling off at speed causes bleeding and/or broken leg, unconsciousness.

>No lights. Well maybe chem-light. (for all the good that it would do you)

>no/minimum stowage.

I'm thinking about this far too much now. Cant play tonight, I must sleep! And my crew have gone on without me... It will be ok I know cherno like the back of my hand after doing arma 2 on expert on my fist go and not realising you had a gps.. And anyway, what's the worst that can happen... alone. In the dark. In the middle of nowhere...

Chernarus gets very small once you have a car. Me and 2 friends got a jeep and can cross the map in 20 minutes.

I want bikes in the game as well, but I think the speed would have to be 30-35 kph on road and 20-25 offroad or it would be to easy to just zip around Chernarus and would make the map seem boring.

EDIT: Also, to offset the slow speed, make it so that you can disassemble a bike and shove it in your backpack (10+ slot item) to transport it to other servers. So they could still be a rare spawn (make it so it spawns the item in a loot pile, then you assemble it) while adding to cross-server persistance that rocket is going for.

I second this, but only if it has a basket, a bell and things that make it look good.

Beautiful Idea. I also agree with your post on fixing the bike. If added then Rocket should keep the bikes inland so there is a better reaosn to travel inland. It gets lonely out in the wildy.

@kloust!,

You do know that this was an old thread and bikes are in the mod now?

[kloust! 0]

wrong thread - my goodness! I haven't ever messed things up like this before. sorry

The bike in Arma 2 is the Montague paratrooper folding mountain bike.

Would be nice if DayZ could have one that actually folds so you can stash it

or carry it up to places you can't ride.
