* In the [[Generation I]] games and their [[remake]]s, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, [[Miracle Cycle]] in [[Cerulean City]] sells Bicycles for {{pdollar}}1,000,000, which is {{PDollar}}1 more than it is possible for the player to obtain in these games. Instead, the player must use a [[Bike Voucher]] to buy one.

The Bicycle cannot be ridden inside buildings or if the player is accompanied by another person. In {{game|Yellow}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the player's [[walking Pokémon]] returns to its [[Poké Ball]] while the player is cycling.

===={{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}====
====[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], {{game|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}====
Due to [[List of glitches (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.
In these games, the Bicycle has two different gears: third and fourth gear. The player can switch between them by pressing the B button. Fourth gear is faster and allows the player to ride up {{DL|bike obstacles|muddy slopes}} and jump two tiles from bike {{DL|bike obstacles|ramps}}. Third gear is slower and only jumps one tile from ramps, but cannot ride up muddy slopes.
 
===={{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 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]].
 
The regular Bicycle is also found in the code of {{game|Emerald}}, but it is [[List of unobtainable items|not legitimately obtainable]] and has no effect when used.
 
===={{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}====
In addition to the regular Bicycle, the [[Acro Bike]] and [[Mach Bike]] are also found in the code of these games, but the latter two items are [[List of unobtainable items|not legitimately obtainable]]. When either the Acro Bike or the Mach Bike is used, the player simply starts riding the regular Bicycle. If the player is already riding the Bicycle, then using any of these items causes the player to resume walking.


====[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], {{game|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}====
In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the player can choose between a red, blue, green or yellow 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 Pokémon Diamond and Pearl only, bikes cannot be ridden in [[gate]]s. In these games only, bikes cannot be ridden in [[Snow tile|snow]].

====Mach and Acro Bikes====
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]], there are two different models of Bicycle: [[Mach Bike]] (which is faster than the regular Bicycle) and the [[Acro Bike]] (which is the same speed as the regular Bicycle, but can also be used to perform tricks). Both bicycles allow the player to reach places they otherwise could not.
In [[Generation III]], the player cannot have both at the same time. They can switch models at [[Rydel's Cycles]].
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]].
====Rotom Bike====
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the player receives the [[Rotom Bike]]. The Rotom Bike can occasionally dash to move at high speeds for short periods of time. After being upgraded with Water Mode, it can also travel on water.
====Ride Pokémon====
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 [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the player can ride on certain [[walking Pokémon]]. Cycling Road is replaced by Pokémon Road, with Trainers required to ride a Pokémon instead of a Bicycle on the road.

* The song ''[[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|Bicycle]]'' (Japanese: {{tt|じてんしゃ|Jitensha}}) from [[Generation II]] and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} is a remix of the song ''[[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|Goldenrod City]]'' (Japanese: {{tt|コガネシティ|Kogane Shiti}}). Furthermore, the song ''[[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|Bug-Catching Contest]]'' (Japanese: {{tt|むしとりたいかい|Neshitori Taikai}}) from these games remixes parts of the song ''[[Game Boy: Entire Pokémon Sounds Collection CD|Cycling]]'' (Japanese: {{tt|サイクリング|Saikuringu}}) from [[Generation I]].

* Like all key items from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, the Mach Bike and Acro Bike are present in the internal data of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, but are [[List of unobtainable items|unused]]. If the player obtains one (i.e. via [[cheating]]), they both function like the regular Bicycle.
* Like all key items from Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the regular Bicycle is present in the internal data of Pokémon Emerald, but is unused. If attempted to be used, it has no effect.
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, when the player attempts to enter the [[Kanto Route 17|Cycling Road]], the game does not check if the Bicycle is present in the Bag; instead, it specifically checks for the event flag indicating that player has obtained the Bicycle from [[Miracle Cycle]]. However, this makes no difference in regular gameplay, because the Bicycle (like any other [[Key Item]] in these games) is unable to be deposited in the [[PC]], sold, or thrown away, so it remains indefinitely in the [[Bag]] after the player has obtained it.

* Despite the typical Bicycle not making an appearance in the [[core series]] since {{g|X and Y}}, in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} the Bicycle's English name was reformatted to '''Bike''' in its [[List of items by index number (Generation VI)|internal data]], and has remained that way ever since.
* In the internal data of {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the Bicycle was renamed "Bike" in English, despite the item being unused in those games. This rename was carried forward in all subsequent games (despite the item being unused). This updated name was used for the first time in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, where the item was once again obtainable.
