did any video games make you want to get into riding?

LOL no.

What I'd like to see though is a video game that teaches actual road racing tactics and strategy.

No, anime girls did.

Trek came out with this mountain biking pc game back when and it made me have to shit each time I played it as a kid.
But no.

Same here, unironically.

I loved BMX and motocross games as a kid, probably spent just as much time playing them as I did riding my BMX (a lot). Now I've moved onto mountain biking and hardly ever ride because there's not much round here to ride, I wish someone would make a decent semi-realistic mountain biking game, bonus points for being able to ride urban environments.

GTA San Andreas and GTA 5 have mountain bikes! There was a guy in an APC trolling me and I killed him with a SMG while riding one.

I want something a bit more realistic than that, in GTA they just behave as low speed motorbikes with godly amounts of grip and ridiculous physics. I'm after something more like Dave Mirra/Matt Hoffman/BMX XXX but with mountain bikes instead of BMX and offroad (keep the urban maps too though).

Turns out there was a game called Downhill Domination on PS2 so I'll have to check that out, but I'm guessing it'll just be track races with no free roam.

Not really, but this baby right here was the shit at the arcade.

damn, Downhill Domination on an emulator looks like that?
but no, seeing how brazen groups of riders were in traffic in the east bay infuriated me until I came to the conclusion that it was actually kind of cool

Is the Tour de France game not like that?
I hear its pretty close to how Codies F1 games let you micromanage strats.

I bought a road bike becuase I liked yowapeda. I had a foldable bike which I used forcommuting, but never thought about buying a road bike even when I liked watching bike races like TDF, Vuelta and Giro.

So for me, anime has changed a lot in my life, now I'm healthier, 15kg less, and I have a hobby that helps me with my anxiety/depression.

Oh, and not really /n/ but when I was a child I bought a pair of roller blades after playing an old nintendo game called skitching or something like that, it was about street rollerblading, racing on roads, and using vehicles to catch them and go faster. There was enemies and you needed to hit them with punches or a steel bar, and there also was oil patches on the road. At the end of each race you got money and purchased upgrades like wheels, helmet...It was pretty fun and I remeber the music to be nice and catchy.

Same here. I rode a rental bike before and was crap at it. Thought about getting a road bike and watching long riders sold me on it. I still have a long way to go but I'm having fun with it so far.
