The funniest thing to me about games that feature cars is that apparently sim city had to pretend parking lots don't exist because they would completely ruin the fun of the game

@rasterweb yes! Wheel world! https://a.wholelottanothing.org/my-current-favorite-video-games/
@mathowie @rasterweb After reading your post, I went to look up Wheel World on Steam and found that I had already wishlisted it!
Looking forward to trying it out after your recommendation.I don't own a Switch, but I do have an 8bitdo SN 30 Pro controller which reminds me of a PS4 controller; mine has Nintendo colors and would likely pair well with the Switch.

@rasterweb there was a Tour de France game (with a team manager mode) launched last year. Never heard of anyone who played it, so suspect it wasn’t a great success. https://tour-de-france-the-game.com/?utm_source=a&utm_medium=s&utm_campaign=d

@rasterweb @Gina I’m reminded of “Paperboy”. And there weee a bunch of BMX simulators in the olden days.
Nowadays there seems to be some half-decent mountain bike sims: https://store.steampowered.com/app/681280/Descenders/

@rasterweb @Gina I think Lucy Dreaming features a bicycle as a mode of transport too. But you don’t really use it in the game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1532710/Lucy_Dreaming/

@rasterweb there's a brief bit in #earthbound where you can ride a bike. It's only brief because they didn't program it to work when you have additional characters in your party

@rasterweb 7 days to die has bikes (and motorcycles, but gas is hard to come by and they're loud so the zombies come).
