Once cims get going, bikes go surprisingly fast. At first glance, that seems a bit odd, but I think it stands up. That puts it ahead of buses and trams and alongside the metro and monorail. In my quick overview of all public transport, I put biking in the medium distance travel category. With AD installed, everything here applies across PC, Mac, Linux, Xbox, PS4 and Switch.
I’m talking about the vanilla, unmodded game here, with the first six expansions installed although After Dark is the only requirement. That’s why I like making bike highways that are separate from the road network. In real life, I don’t particularly enjoy riding on the road, but I love mountain biking and a good cycle path through a city makes me very happy. And that’s true even without a local bus network! In a neighbourhood designed from the outset for low car use, it’s possible to see almost no one driving at all. The pedestrian path got a bike-only counterpart, too – from which we can build huge networks fast, direct cycle highways.īikes add visual life to the city and a good cycle network can also drastically reduce car traffic. Suddenly, residents would hop onto a bike and ride the pavements and newly-added bike lanes. Biking arrived to Cities: Skylines in After Dark, the game’s first expansion.
