The Big Biffa Bike-ability Challenge in Cities Skylines!

[@airpeguiV2]

I am a bit concerned about the overpasses that were removed for pedestrians. Now they have to get a bike if they want to cross the highway as the bicycle lane does not allow people to walk on it.

[@MrSquark]

Yep, no pedestrian access over the highway now

[@mattjk5299]

A bit annoying there's no wider bike/public footpath combo in vanilla as there is often IRL L

Bicycle routes shouldn't follow highways but instead provide a more direct way. Of course, this is a game not reality...

Yeah, in reality, it would be just a waste of money. But in the game, some people are happy to cycle for several days straight just to get to work and back home

[@dycedargselderbrother5353]

@@Yorick257 As long as there is a contiguous bike lane, cyclists seem to have unlimited range. I've seen them going 4+ tiles. As far as game mechanics go, cycling is effectively another mass transit option and a long distance one at that.

The good thing about cycling infrastructure is that you don't have to follow existing roads or use already built junctions for cars. In stead: create shortcuts across the roads (underneath or over) and create faster routes from a to b.

[@RustyLoaf]

I love the emphasis on biking in Cities Skylines, although I really wish the default cycling roads weren't just bicycle gutters. It's funny how modded bicycle lane roads are usually cognizant of that and make sure they add a buffer for protected bike lanes.

[@emberchord]

It would be interesting to see a city design with walking paths and cycling, as well as public transport as the main thing and regular car lanes built around it, instead of adding in bike lanes after the fact - wonder if that is even possible.

[@guy_autordie]

Not really due to the construction of the buildings. Or. We need a road that is pedestrian/bike only, and adding backstreets for cars. But the models for the buildings are not create for that. You really need to plan your city for high availability for walking and biking paths.

[@lachlanp4198]

@@guy_autordie You can use a design similar to the superblocks in Barcelona, where most streets are the zonable promenade with bike lanes, and ban private vehicles on them, and only have some blocks with regular roads

[@rellyrelishes]

That would be a great idea. I've planned to do that for a new section in my city on Xbox. Build the bike infrastructure first then add roads and zoning to fit around it. It seems better that way because then you don't have to make as many compromises when it comes to the paths bikers can use safely

[@slate613]

Not to mention the "fun" of breathing in exhaust fumes the whole time you're on there. Which the game doesn't really take into effect so yeah.

[@OllieV__nl]

It would be a hard road mentally too, with no real defining features. My daily cycle to school wasn't long (7km) but it was varied. 1km in? A bend. 2km? A little wooded area. 3km, the next village. Etc, etc. If the weather's terrible and you've just got to power through, being able to tick off how far you've come helps a ton. "Straight on as far as the eye can see"... my condolences. This just treats cycle traffic the exact same way as car traffic, and it simply doesn't work like that. But as has been said, Cities Skylines is just a video game, and a pretty unrealistic one at that.

[@brittanyeastep4866]

17:00 Biffa, why don't you use the modded monorail tracks you have? They are meant to go over roads, the 8m track should be perfect for this use case.

[@ChrisDombroski]

Pretty sure you need 16m for a 2u road... but yes those tracks should work perfectly here

Biking along the highway breathing fumes is awful, these routes should really be more separate from these highways.

[@NelsonBrown]

Not that the game cares, but people prefer biking on flatter paths. If a grade separation requires the bikes change elevation, an underpass is better because riders can use the speed from the downhill on the other side.

@@NelsonBrown although in this game the underpasses are tunnels which are muggers' havens irl

[@NelsonBrown]

@@edwardmiessner6502 - yeah, in reality it needs to not feel claustrophobic like a tunnel. But the car road can be a bridge so the bike underpass doesn't feel like a tunnel. The mugger thing may or may not be imaginary, but the perception would affect people's decisions to use the route or not.

[@FabriceNL]

So glad we dutch as cycle heaven did not do this. The constant noise, smell and having to take ramps each time.. bleh. But indeed, beauty of such a game. I would love to see what you can do after looking into how the dutch (netherlands) do cycling.

Poor, poor Piper. She has to go under a bridge that threatens to take her head off, past 2 columns that nearly knock her off the road, around a treacherous roundabout, and across approximately 500 miles of city... just to work at a taxi depot.

Oh, I love that build so much ... 21:59 Heather seems to come from the IT- or rather Eye Tea district - and if you are following the route until 22:22 this is actually a horseshoe-shaped route. If you are not exploiting the overpowered cycling in the game's algorithm there should definitely be additional shorter connections. Combine the Heather route with your thoughts 24:20 - 24:40 ... I really disagree here: Giving cars access to the actual highway takes a lot of space because you need proper junctions. Access to the bicycle highway is far less complicated and takes a lot less space. And there are hundreds or thousands of non-Heathers and almost-Heathers - for them additional points of access can make a serious difference and their routing algorithm might decide that cycling is better if just a few bike path connections are added. You can seriously attack road traffic if you exploit its weaknesses and add targeted bike connections where regular highway connections are not possible.

Also at 35:24 you accidentally changed a road to one way off a round about when it was two way before. Also I think it’s been mentioned before, can people use the red highway paths to walk? There’s a few spots you changed walking paths that connect your left and right side of the island.

The Seattle, WA area has two highway bridges with parallel bike/pedestrian trails. SR520 and I90 floating bridges across lake Washington. Both are on the north side of the highway. I90 doesn't have great noise suppression between the traffic and the trail and it is absolutely nerve racking to ride on. The SR520 path is newish and I've not ridden on it, but has a full sound barrier wall between traffic and trail users.

[@PDsPCRepair]

The biker was not stopping at those red lights because the intersections were all T's and not 4 way. The path of travel the biker had did not ever intersect with traffic if the biker is going straight. It would be completely unnecessary for them to stop at those red lights.

More pristine, wilder park or woods, where they can pick up mushrooms or berries also seems to be a good idea. Happy New Year!! Upd.

[@samsawesomeminecraft]

It would be wonderful to look at elevation statistics for bikes, because biking on hills and slopes is more sport than transport. My 1-mile route from home to school went through a wide, deep canyon and it was faster to walk up the hill while leaving the bike at home than to walk the bike up the hill, and I just didn't have the power to carry myself, my bike, and by textbooks up the hill. This is especially a concern with overpasses or underpasses: the change in elevation is ideally 0 meters on the bike lane, and anything more than 4 meters is dangerous if you try to conserve mechanical energy (no brakes). Another concern is sharp turns at the bottoms of slopes. Because bikers going downhill are probably going to be going crazy fast, they need to take turns with a very large radius when they reach the bottom. You *could* force them to use the brakes and come to a stop, but that is really really exhausting even if it just happens once on a route.

And I would have put alternate routes around the intersections to avoid conflict with cars and also to not destroy those beautiful bridges 😢 Others have more comments!

[@3dmaster205]

Now that's a creative solution; I'm not sure the average cycler would take that path in real life; granted, it's safe, but the sound of those cars and trucks right below you... maybe a utilitarian cycler might take the path, but recreational one definitely wouldn't. And as for main four lane fast speed through roads with a bicycle gutter... forget about it, only cyclists will go on that thing. Also, if you want to do those roundabouts right, the bicycles should have right of way on the roundabout from cars both going in and out, and thus the bicycle gutter should be continuous all the way along, use your interchange marking tool to make it all the way around, and thus the marking tool contain shark tooth? Triangles? Give way sign painted on the road? They should be on the road on either side of the bicycle lane. If you're wondering what the difference between a cylcer and cyclist is; a cycler is a person who checks the route, what is the fastest and most convenient and if it's the bike, they'll take the bike, if it's not the bike they won't take the bike. Basically they're a cycler only when they are on the bicycle. A cyclist is someone who will bike come hell or high water, safety be damned even if kills them they will cycle. PS: Biffa, I have been suspecting something for a time now, and I went back and checked; you never hooked your damn into the grid, no power lines anywhere; result is that power isn't added to your city power.

The highway path looks cool but the ride quality suffers from vehicle noise and exhaust fumes.

The red light bicycle thing, a pedestrian or bike at a T-intersection when crossing the top of the T can continue without stopping because they are safe from cross traffic.

I've broke my city once turning it bike friendly. After implementing bikeroads everywhere number of cyclists decreased, traffic decreaded, number of sims using public transport decreased almost to zero. It was strange :( Population stayed more less the same around 100k.

At T-junctions it’s not necessary for a cyclist traveling in the straight direction (top of the T) along the curb to stop for the light. No vehicle traffic should be crossing into the bike lane regardless of signal status.

17:25 I think this is why bike infrastructure is still lacking in many places. The Dutch solve the issue the other way around. Bikes aren't the ones who have to go around. Bikes get the direct, short routes. It's all the other traffic which is sent around. By turning the solution upside down it increases cycling.

Theoretically you could also connect your bike path to the overpass bridge directly, especially if it wasn't a major road. Also in real life that red light would probably have a permanent straight green for cyclists, there's no way for a cyclist going straight on the right hand side of the road to interact with traffic at all. Stopping them would be completely pointless. I think that's what the game is replicating here. If there's no turn off to your right and you're in a cycle lane you never have to give way. Turning traffic turns in to the lane left of you.
