Bike mod?

[Drancon101]

Here's a mod suggestion. How about a bicycle mod. The older games maps were broken up into smaller zones, making traveling on foot not as time consuming to get around, since the zones weren't all that big, relatively.
But in stalker 2, the entire world is a vast open map, with pretty much all the zones from the previous games meshed into one giant zone. Sure we got guides for fast travel, but they're at specific locations, and only go to other towns. A mod that adds in a bicycle for you to use to get around a bit quicker would be nice, since from what I've seen so far, people seem to have a big issue when it comes to someone asking about adding vehicles into a stalker game.
Bicycle makes sense IMO. They're leg powered, would work before and after an apocalypse, would be relatively common (We're talking about the zone, so maybe not as common as people would think). And it would be pretty funny to see someone ride a bike into an anomaly and have it explode into pieces.

It should follow trends - zone full of e-bikes and e-psuhbikes, everywhere you look.

Want a lore reason why there's no bikes and the only vehicles are controlled by major factions?

Because gasoline has an expiry date and nobody is bringing more into the zone. They'd have to convert engines to biodeisel and even then, to what end exactly? Vehicles would only be valuable for moving materials and protecting workers/troops from small arms fire and mutants as they gathered materials or secured a location.

That's why specific factions use them in limited capacity, if they have access to mainland resources.

Dude is kinda lightweight. Have friend, hes local ex champion in downhill, we used to call him Ninja Turtle since his gear was more like motocross gear.

It wouldnt have to be fast to even be a good option, x1.5 of the walking speed and the percived travel speed would be greater. I was thinking about this the other day when I was walking down from the middle to the starting area to just check it out, there are bike's in the game but they miss parts like chains and brakes.

I'd just love seeing a group of stalkers ride between outposts and villages on a good day, then hauling ass to the nearest shelter when the emission is getting close.

Bicycle would be awesome :) Less mechanical / electrical failure due to anomalies, no fuel micromanagement - and Skif stays healthy

How about pogo-sticks?

Only if the vehicle gets completely destroyed every time it hits an anomaly.

Not gonna lie, i would NOT want to drive a car/bike in the Zone, considering the Anomalies on the road, the mutant, and most of all the BANDITS, that's just asking to get blasted by everything in there.

Alright - we need a jetpack then

[Cuddle_Rat]

How about just give us a radio that can tune into fake stalker chatter or listen to some sweet tunes to break up the monotony. I know there are working antennas out there, you telling me no one thought to make a Zone radio station? If people can figure it out in the totally destroyed world of Fallout, they can do it here.

Would love a Jalopy mod with a bunch of old Soviet era cars too

[AllanWake™]

There is a group of NPCs camping at the house, north-west of rostok, selling a car.

You aint tellin me that in 15 years no one in the zone has figured out how to power a vehicle with an artifact.
