:''This article is about the [[Key Item]] named Bicycle. For the bicycle models available in the [[Hoenn]] games, see [[Mach Bike]] and [[Acro Bike]].''
A '''Bicycle''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|じてんしゃ|jitensha}}''' ''Bicycle'') is a [[Key Item]] obtained in the games to facilitate [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|faster movement]]. [[Cycling Road]]s can only be navigated on while cycling. They are usually obtained from [[Bicycle Shop]]s.

==In the games==
===Types of Bicycles===
In most games there is only one type of Bicycle; however, in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]], [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]], 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, though in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, the player can eventually obtain the ability to carry both at once.
 
All Bicycles 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 {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, bikes cannot be ridden in [[gate]]s.
 
====Regular Bicycle====
[[File:Key Bicycle Sprite.png|thumb|Bicycle obtain sprite from the Generation V games]]
In all games but [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]], [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]] there is only one type of Bicycle.
 
In Generations I and III, [[Miracle Cycle]] is selling 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 {{key|III|Bike Voucher}} to buy one.
 
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the player can press the B Button to switch between the third and fourth gears. 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 X and Y]], the player can choose between a green or a yellow bicycle, the choice having no impact on the bike itself.

====Acro Bike====
A '''Bicycle''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|じてんしゃ|jitensha}}''' ''Bicycle'') is a [[Key Item]] obtained in the games to facilitate [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|faster movement]]. They are usually obtained from [[Bicycle Shop]]s.
[[File:Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire Acro Bike.png|thumb|200px|Artwork of the Acro Bike from {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}]]
An '''Acro Bike''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ダートじてんしゃ|Dāto Jitensha}}''' ''Dirt Bike'') travels at the same speed as regular Bicycles, but it also allows {{player}}s to perform tricks, such as wheelies and bunny hops, which let players reach special areas. It can also be used for traveling on white rails found on {{rt|119|Hoenn}} and in the [[Hoenn Safari Zone]].


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 {{DL|Hoenn Safari Zone|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.
* 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.


=====Tricks=====
===Effect===
* Hold B Button (less than 2 seconds): standing wheelie
The Bicycle allows for faster traveling than walking, [[Running Shoes|running]], or [[Roller Skates|skating]]. It also allows the player to pass the [[Cycling Road]]s on {{rt|16|Kanto}} to {{rtn|18|Kanto}} in [[Kanto]] and {{rt|206|Sinnoh}} in [[Sinnoh]].
* Hold B Button (more than 2 seconds): bunny hop
* Hold B, then {{tt|+Control Pad|D-pad}}: moving wheelie or bunny hop
* Press B and +Control Pad direction (perpendicular to direction of travel) simultaneously: sideways hop
* Press B and +Control Pad direction (opposite to direction of travel) simultaneously: hops and reverses direction


<gallery>
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]].

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.


=====Item details=====
====In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} only====
{{Item
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.

}}


====Mach Bike====
====In {{g|X and Y}}====
[[File:Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire Mach Bike.png|thumb|200px|Artwork of the Mach Bike from {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}]]
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.
The '''Mach Bike''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|マッハじてんしゃ|Mahha Jitensha}}''' ''Mach Bike'') allows {{player}}s to move a lot faster than regular Bicycles and the Acro Bike. It can move fast enough to ride straight up {{DL|bike obstacles|muddy slopes}}, or over [[Hole#Generation III|cracked tiles]] without falling through (which appear in [[Granite Cave]], the [[Sky Pillar]], and [[Mirage Tower]]{{sup/3|E}}) if the player has enough momentum. If the {{player}} collides with something, all momentum gained is lost and the speed resets.


On the [[Seaside Cycling Road]], a player's time and number of collisions while riding this Bicycle from the northern entrance to the southern exit are timed and recorded. This is part of the data sent over to other {{player}}s via [[record mixing]].

Bicycles are rarely seen in the {{pkmn|anime}}, since {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are usually seen walking for their journeys. The only time bicycles are used is 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 "borrowed" by Ash in order to escape from a flock of {{p|Spearow}}. The bike was then unintentionally destroyed when [[Ash's Pikachu]] released a {{m|Thunder Shock}} at the Spearow. Misty later re-obtains her bike from Nurse Joy in Viridian City in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]''.

The act of Pikachu destroying a female companion's bike became a {{wp|running gag}} in the two following series of the {{pkmn|anime}}: {{an|May}}'s bicycle was destroyed in ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]'' and {{an|Dawn}}'s in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]''. {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Serena}} did not own bikes at all.

Bicycles can be rented for 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, {{an|Professor Oak}} used a bicycle in ''[[M02|The Power Of One]]'' to get to [[Delia Ketchum]]'s house.

The '''Bicycle''' was introduced as an {{TCG|Item card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Black & White Series (the Japanese BW Era). First released in the {{TCG|Cold Flare}} expansion, the Bicycle later debuted in the {{TCG|Plasma Storm}} expansion with both prints featuring an illustration by [[Toyste Beach]]. With the same effect as {{TCG ID|Neo Destiny|Mail from Bill|105}} from the {{TCG|Neo Destiny}} expansion, this {{TCG|Trainer card}} allows the player to draw cards until they have 4 cards in their hand.

* 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 [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], the bells on the different bikes have notably different sounds.

Effect

The Bicycle allows for faster traveling than walking, running, or skating. It also allows the player to pass the Cycling Roads on Route 16 to 18 in Kanto and Route 206 in Sinnoh.

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

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald and their remade counterparts, Pokémon 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.

In Generation VII, several Ride Pokémon take over the role of transporting the player across the land at higher speeds, such as Tauros Charge.

In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum only

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 muddy slopes and jump further from bike ramps. Third gear can jump bike ramps, but does not jump as far. In Diamond and Pearl only, bikes cannot be ridden in gates.

In Pokémon X and Y

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.

In the anime

In the main series

Dawn's bike before it was destroyed
Ash, Dawn, and Brock riding rented bikes

Bicycles are rarely seen in the anime, since Ash and his friends are usually seen walking for their journeys. The only time bicycles are used is when it is necessary to use them, such as on Cycling Roads, or for a faster way to get somewhere.

The first bicycle to appear was Misty's bicycle in Pokémon - I Choose You!. It was "borrowed" by Ash in order to escape from a flock of Spearow. The bike was then unintentionally destroyed when Ash's Pikachu released a Thunder Shock at the Spearow. Misty later re-obtained her bike from Nurse Joy in Viridian City in Gotta Catch Ya Later.

The act of Pikachu destroying a female companion's bike became a running gag in the two following series of the anime: May's bicycle was destroyed in Get the Show on the Road! and Dawn's in Two Degrees of Separation.

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

Barry was shown to have a bike in Gotta Get a Gible!. He said he got it in Eterna City as part of a free bicycle distribution event. The bike was eventually devoured by a wild Gible.

In The Bridge Bike Gang, Chopper's bike bears a resemblance to Zapdos.

Mallow's bike appeared in Lillie's Egg-xhilarating Challenge!.

In Pokémon Origins

Red's bicycle in Pokémon Origins

Red commonly used a bicycle to move around in Pokémon Origins. He was seen obtaining it at the beginning of File 2: Cubone, getting it in return for a Bike Voucher he had obtained from the Pokémon Fan Club Chairman.

In the manga

A Bicycle in Pokémon Zensho

In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga

In Play Misty For Me, it was revealed that Misty's Bicycle, which, like in the anime, had been accidentally destroyed by Ash's Pikachu, was custom-built and worth $10,000.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Red, Green & Blue arc

Professor Oak used a bicycle to pursue the Pokémon that escaped from his Laboratory in Bulbasaur Come Home!.

Red participated in a cycling competition along Routes 11 and 12 in Wake Up—You're Snorlax!, using a bicycle received in exchange for a coupon he had gotten from the Pokémon Fan Club Chairman.

Gold, Silver & Crystal arc

Gold competed with Whitney in a bike race from Goldenrod City to the National Park in Smeargle Smudge and How Do You Do, Sudowoodo?. Gold, however, altered his Bicycle into a push scooter.

Diamond & Pearl arc

Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum received Bicycles from Rad Rickshaw as a sign of gratitude after his rescue from Team Galactic in Ring Around the Roserade II. The trio would later use their new Bicycles to travel through the Cycling Road.

In the Pokémon Zensho manga

A Bicycle was seen inside the Miracle Cycle shop in Cerulean City.

In the TCG

Bicycle
Main article: Bicycle (Plasma Storm 117)

The Bicycle was introduced as an Item card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the English Black & White Series (the Japanese BW Era). First released in the Cold Flare expansion, the Bicycle later debuted in the Plasma Storm expansion with both prints featuring an illustration by Toyste Beach. With the same effect as Mail from Bill from the Neo Destiny expansion, this Trainer card allows the player to draw cards until they have 4 cards in their hand.
