CS2 will not have bicycles at launch News

CO has confirmed on twitter that CS2 will not have bicycles at launch.

Personally this is a huge dissapointment as bicycles have become such a core feature of CS1 especially after the recent updates that made more roads with bike lanes available in the game.

For me I just want pedestrians to NOT walk out into traffic and for cars to wait for pedestrians. I wonder if there will be collisions and traffic accidents that would require more use of police and the fire department. Could add in tow trucks too as a DLC.

my main concern with CS1 is that it's too easy to make a utopia, where everyone has high education and live in fancy level 5 apartments lol. I want the need to plan how i should solve the problems in my city, deal with run-down neighborhoods, crime, poverty, homeless etc, and see how i could improve my city and make it more prosperous with actual challenge built into this process.

Yeah, I think Industry 4.0 really makes the game too easy. Needing to maintain a balance of high-income and low-income Cims to make a functional city where all job levels are balanced seems like it'd be a decent challenge, even though it goes against our instincts to make things nice for everyone.

I'm really hoping that importing commercial goods via the harbor or trains takes into account your commercial levels. If everything is level 4/5 it should be pretty expensive to import stuff, so having general industry, (or however CS2 handles it) to provide those good should be beneficial, rather than just being a necessary evil to supplement jobs for lower-educated Cims.
