Bike Modding?

[Retep Molinari 68]

Hello everyone!

I want to have something that could emulate the impact of a Bike route system in a city, much like my native San Francisco has just rolled out.

I think this could be best done by changing the shuttle service ordinance to one that helps pedestrians go even further (1km?) then currently. Re-naming it for the benefit of my CJ would be an added plus.

Any idea how this works?Is it possible?

Thanks everyone!

+1 -- As a daily bike commuter, making a truly bike-friendly city sounds like a great challenge.  I know there are some great mods like Paengs Bicycle Paths:

 

 

But I'm curious whether creating bicycle paths will help alleviate traffic, or if they're just like parks with bicyclist sprites on them.  Does anyone know?  Thanks!

As far as it's currently known, it is not possible to add bikes as a new commuter type/network. The idea with modding the shuttle ordinance sounds more feasible when used in conjunction with the many bike path parks available. Of course, the parks would be purely aesthetic.

In the NAM traffic simulator, pedestrians will walk as far as they need to in order to get to their jobs.  Since they take the fastest route, though, they usually end up driving or taking mass transit.  Bicycle paths are not part of the traffic simulation, and therefore cannot relieve traffic.  Changing the shuttle service ordinance would not have any effect in this situation.

Even more so, we can't add traffic types or path types. This is hard-coded in-game and is therefore impossible to change.

 

(though, as a dutch person, bike paths are everywhere here!)
