Ride a Bike through an Architectural Drawing: no, really.

It's the French cycling music that makes it come together.

Beautifully done, and...French cycling music's a "thing"? Sweet!

It needs more "old timey" bicycles. I seriously fail at making loops around the checkpoints too.

Lots of fun. I'm having a damn hard time keeping up with the screen.

Ooooooops. Don't press 'R' if you're way, way, into the game, and think that 'R' just sends you back to the last checkpoint. No, it sends you back to the beginning of the game. Dammit.

Bikes, accordions, pointlessness, the term "Fig," jazz, retro drawings.

Greatest flash game ever.

The scrolling really should not allow you to ever be "off" the screen. But other than that, very pretty and nice.

155,939 was my final score. Halfway to three quarters of the way through, I stopped caring about my multiplier because it gets really tricky trying to stay up with the screen in parts. Awesome music, though!

Real fun. Thank you.

That was great, thanks!

Not allowing the screen to eat you would eliminate more than half of the masochism from the game.

Well, it's really French 'love lost' music, but what else is cycling about?

avoiding all black line has never been this entertaining.

Yes. Leaving only the fun part.

Lovely music. It reminds me a lot of Giacchino's score for Up.

masochistist!

282,876 - 2nd runthrough. Such a wonderful maze.

Very simple game, making beautiful curves, thanks for sharing.

Awesome game, but now I've got an after-feeling of movement and sense that I am constantly in peril of falling of the screen of reality.

Just what I needed, thanks!

I'm sure this game is fun, but I can't even beat the captcha on the site to log in. :(

You know you can speed up the bike to avoid being eaten, right?
posted by MrMoonPie at 9:43 AM on September 11, 2009

I can't ever see the games at newgrounds, but I assume it's the same game as the one on yoarcade.
posted by MrMoonPie at 9:45 AM on September 11, 2009

I don't get it.
posted by Rarebit Fiend at 2:03 PM on September 11, 2009

I went over to the left at the beginning just to see what would happen.

I found an easter egg.
