How to Play Bike Speed

To select, left click with your mouse or tap on the touchscreen with your fingers. On the welcome screen, select anywhere to begin.

On a desktop, use the keyboard to move. Propel the bike by pressing the left and right arrow keys in rapid succession. Press the space bar to switch lanes.

On a touchscreen device, tap on the on-screen buttons with your fingers. Use the L and R buttons on either lower corner of the screen with your fingers to propel the bike and use the space button at the center to switch lanes.

Basic Gameplay Advice

This is a simple bike riding game. Build up speed until you have enough momentum to cruise, then switch lanes to avoid hazards on the road. Keep going down the road for as far as you can within the time limit. The faster you move, the more distance you will cover.

You begin each game with 30 seconds on the timer. Each time you reach a sign that says +10, you gain an extra 10 seconds of time to ride down the street. The game ends when you run out of time or you hit a traffic cone.

The game has four types of obstacles: rubble, oil slicks, puddles, and traffic cones. When your bike passes through the first three, you lose speed. If your bike hits a traffic cone, however, the game ends then and there.

Your score is based on the distance you’ve traveled. At the game over screen, you have the option to share your final distance and the game with your friends on Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp.

Advanced Playing Tips & Strategy

The game’s controls can be somewhat confusing at first glance, but it can be simplified by thinking of it as a two step process. The first step involves the left and right taps and presses (“pedaling”) , which helps you build up speed. You’ll only need to do this briefly. Once you’ve gained enough speed, you can shift your focus on avoiding obstacles until you start to slow down, upon which you must start building speed again until you see an obstacle approach. Switch from one to the other as needed.
