In most games there is only one type of Bicycle; however, in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, there are two types of Bicycle: the Acro Bike and the Mach Bike. The player can only have one at a time and must trade in their current Bicycle at [[Rydel's Cycles]] to obtain the other.

All bicycles cannot be ridden inside of buildings or if the player is accompanied by a person or a Pokémon. Prior to Generation V, bikes cannot be ridden in [[Snow tile|snow]]. In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, bikes cannot be ridden in [[gate]]s.

Bunny hopping up and down on an Acro Bike in [[tall grass]] can cause [[wild Pokémon]] to appear, but does not count as steps towards the [[Safari Game]] or [[Repel]].

Unlike the Mach Bike, if the player rides on [[Seaside Cycling Road]] their time won't be recorded due to the bicycle being "easy to turn" in comparison.

Bicycles are rarely seen in the anime as {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are usually seen walking. The only time bicycles are used are when it is necessary to use them, such as on [[Cycling Road]]s, or for a faster way to get somewhere.

The first bicycle to appear was {{an|Misty}}'s bicycle in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. It was "stolen" by Ash in order to escape from a flock of {{p|Spearow}}, it was then unintentionally destroyed when [[Ash's Pikachu]] released a {{m|ThunderShock}} at the Spearow.

The act of Pikachu destroying a female companion's bike has become a {{wp|running gag}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}. So far, {{an|Iris}} is the only female character not to have had her bike destroyed, however she did not appear to own a bike in her debut appearance.

Bicycles can be rented to use on Cycling Roads as seen in ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'' and ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]''. Some characters do own bicycles but are rarely seen using them. For example, [[Professor Oak]] used a bicycle in ''[[M02|The Power Of One]]'' to get to [[Delia Ketchum]]'s house.

In ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'', [[Chopper]]'s bike bears a resemblance to {{p|Zapdos}}. This implies that bicycles can be custom made to the rider's preference or there are several Bicycle with various designs that can be rented.
