@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).
