Bicycles!
With all the focus on motorised vehicles, it'd be great to see bicycles added as a part of the vehicle roll-out. (yes, pie in the sky at this point in development, but it has always bothered me in zombie shows/movies that bicycles are not more prevalent in usage due to their obvious utiltiy)

To balance out the obivious utility of a comparatively quiet and easier to fuel vehicle, storage points on he bicycle itself would be limited to 10/12 units + player, with a chance for the player to be forcefully dismounted while riding based on expoential encumburance and whether or not they are 'sprinting'. (with a dismount causing damage to vehicle components / player entity)


EDIT - RE: bike storage units - they would be based on whether or not the vehicle entity itself has a basket mounted on it or not.

Good one. And the character's inventory capacity should be reduced too.

I'd like to see bicycles as well, as a faster alternative to walking, but less noisy then driving a car.
Trees and shrubs wouldn't stop you, although they might slow you down or cause you to trip. Dirt and grass would also slow you down, unless you have a mountain bike. I don't think bikes should have storage capacity by default, but they will double your carrying capacity while riding it. Some bikes could have a basket in front or a bag on the back. A rare find would be the cargo bike, which actually does come with a significant storage capacity, let's say 50, but also is too wide to fit through doors and is affected by scenery like a car.

Not sure if this would be a mod or if it would require more advanced stuff like animations and such that require the devs.

how bout a school bag is the biggest bag you can have on your back for riding it since the others would be too bulky to balance and you have to keepbv hands free), would be nice draw backs
