the bike man isnt working

[nekochan AL]

so i just got to the old woods hideout, and i used the bike bell to summon the bike man, but for some reason the only option he gave me for which base to retrieve items from was the dry meadow, which is not the place i want. how do i get him to retrieve my items from the silent forest?

The delivery system is very dependant on the oven mechanic within the game (the cooker that cooks your essence and provides protective gas at night). The hideout that currently has a lit oven (under the influence of protective gas) is your current 'active' hideout and current delivery address.

Usually when players encounter issues like the one you described it's because of some kind of active location issue.. Perhaps the area they travelled from is still their 'active' hideout location with a lit oven.. they haven't activated the oven at their new hideout within the new area they have just travelled to. Calling bikeman before lighting the oven means the previous hideout is still the delivery destination for transported items.

I think bikeman is only giving you the option to transport items from dry meadow because silent forest is your current active location with a lit oven (he thinks you want items moved from dry meadow to silent forest, old woods hasn't been registered yet)..

If this is the case a possible way of remedying it might be to re-do the whole process again the next day (you sometimes need a night phase to pass to reset whatever the delivery instructions were)..

Once you have registered the old woods hideout as your current location (by lighting the oven there), bikeman should give you the option to choose which one of your previous hideouts (that no longer have lit ovens) to take items from.
