The Bicycle cannot be ridden inside of buildings or if the player is accompanied by a person. In {{game|Yellow}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the [[walking Pokémon]] returns to its [[Poké Ball]] while the player is cycling. Prior to Generation V, bikes cannot be ridden in [[Snow tile|snow]].

In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and their [[remake|remade]] counterparts, {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the player has a choice of two bike models, the [[Mach Bike]] and the [[Acro Bike]]. Both bicycles have different properties that allow the player to reach places they otherwise could not, but they typically cannot have both at the same time. They can switch models at [[Rydel's Cycles]].
===={{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}====
Due to [[List of glitches in Generation I#Ghost Bicycle glitch|a glitch]], if the player saves at the [[Cycling Road]] and then creates a new game, it will not be possible to use the Bicycle (or {{m|Surf}} outside of battle) anywhere in the new game until the player does any of these things for the first time: [[black out|blacks out]] (either in battle or the overworld), uses {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Teleport}}, or {{m|Fly}} outside of battle, uses an [[Escape Rope]], or enters and leaves the Cycling Road.
 
===={{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]]====
The player has a choice of two bike models, the [[Mach Bike]] (which is faster than the regular Bicycle) and the [[Acro Bike]] (which is as fast as the Bicycle, but can also be used to perform tricks). Both bicycles allow the player to reach places they otherwise could not. The player is also allowed on the [[Seaside Cycling Road]] if they have any of these bicycles.
 
In [[Generation III]], the player cannot have both at the same time. They can switch models at [[Rydel's Cycles]].


In [[Generation VII]], several [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]] take over the role of transporting the player across the land at higher speeds, such as {{p|Tauros}} Charge.
In [[Generation VI]], the player initially needs to switch models at Rydel's Cycles as well. However, the player will be able to keep both the Mach Bike and Acro Bike together in their [[Bag]], after the player advertises the Rydel's Cycles to three NPCs:

* {{rt|111|Hoenn}} [[Desert]]: A {{tc|Hex Maniac}} up a muddy slope to the north that requires the Mach Bike to climb.

* {{rt|119|Hoenn}}: A {{tc|Bird Keeper}} at the northmost maze of bridges, requires {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Waterfall}} along with the Acro Bike.
* [[Battle Resort]]: A biking {{tc|Triathlete}} southeast of the [[Pokémon Day Care]].


===={{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}====
===={{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}====
When the player attempts to enter the [[Cycling Road]], the game does not check if the Bicycle is present in the [[Bag]]; instead, it specifically checks for the event flag that would be turned on if the player has received the Bicycle from the [[Miracle Cycle]] shop in [[Cerulean City]].
The [[Acro Bike]] and [[Mach Bike]] are also found in the code of these two games, but they are [[List of unobtainable items|not legitimately obtainable]]. When either of them is used, the player simply starts riding the regular Bicycle. If the player is already riding the Bicycle, then using either item causes the player to resume walking.


As a result, if the player uses a [[cheating]] mechanism to obtain the Bicycle (or the [[Acro Bike]], or the [[Mach Bike]]) without receiving it from Miracle Cycle, the player will still be unable to enter the Cycling Road. Conversely, if the player properly obtains the Bicycle from Miracle Cycle but uses a cheating method to delete this item from the Bag, or simply changes the event flag directly, the player will be able to enter the Cycling Road (and ride a Bicycle) without actually owning a Bicycle.

The player can switch between third and fourth gears by pressing the B button, which function similarly to the [[Acro Bike]] and [[Mach Bike]], respectively. Fourth gear is faster than third gear and allows the player to ride up {{DL|bike obstacles|muddy slopes}} and jump further from bike {{DL|bike obstacles|ramps}}. Third gear can jump bike ramps, but does not jump as far. In Diamond and Pearl only, bikes cannot be ridden in [[gate]]s.

The player can move in any direction using the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s Circle Pad. The player has a choice between a green and yellow Bicycle when they obtain it. They cannot switch bikes once they pick one, but both Bicycles are functionally identical.
