Road Bike Games
Video games are one of the few legal avenues adrenaline junkies have in which to explore their passion for racing their motorcycles on the road. Safety is another big concern when riding your bike on the road in real life, but it can be done without worry when competing on one of the virtual roads offered in a video game.

Get A Grip
-
“Get A Grip” is a side-scrolling Flash game that is meant to test your “stoppie” ability. A successful “stoppie” is performed by achieving a high speed, then suddenly hitting your front brake. The longer you can slide while balancing on only the front wheel of your motorcycle, the higher your score will be. Players compete on this street course in a contest for the longest “stoppie” and the highest score.
Street Ride
-
“Street Ride” is a 3-D Flash-based game that is played from a third-person perspective. Players are given the choice between two separate avatars: male or female. Each avatar has a distinct bike and outfit. When starting a new game, players are given a total of five minutes in which to perform tricks on a street-style course, racking up points all the while.

Bike Tricks
-
“Bike Tricks” is a side-scrolling street bike game from Flonga that was developed using Flash technology. This innovative game lets players control their bike rider’s tricks by drawing various letters, numbers and shapes on the screen. The mouse is used with a paintbrush-like cursor to accomplish this, which can be more difficult than it sounds due to the strict timing requirements. The more tricks you are able to pull off with your bike rider, the higher your end score will be.
Urban FMX
-
“Urban FMX” takes the excitement of freestyle motocross out of the arena and puts it right onto the city streets. You’ll have to dodge obstacles like explosive barrels and police barricades, and handle death-defying jumps as you race through the city streets on your motocross bike. Wiping out and falling off your bike does result in a rather bloody scene, however, so this game is certainly not meant for all audiences.
Motorcycle Racer
-
“Motorcycle Racer” offers a great deal of customization, letting players choose one of three bikes: the Red Devil, Cheetah or Night Spirit. Players even have the freedom of being able to choose which country they will race in. Countries include England, Italy and Australia, and each features their own street-style course complete with a fully rendered 3-D environment.
