Fixed Gear in GTA 5?

Sorry if already been posted, and not that interesting....but looks to me like fixed gear bikes have made it into Rockstar's next blockbuster?

would shoot

I fail to see how this would have any impact on gameplay...most likely just designed this way as they couldn't be bothered to render gears etc.

Mission 1: do a skid
Mission 2: do another skid
Mission 3: outrun the cops

apparently (and I really am making this up), there will be a massive multiplayer online thingy where the last friday of every month the mission is to meet under a bridge and ride at a painfully slow pace through the streets. The primary objective of the mission is a little fuzzy.

Courier missions could be interesting - having to use a bit of agility to escape the cops rather than flat out speed or rocket launchers

Makes me want to get gears

If there's theft involved (as the title suggests) then its certainly more true to life to use bikes instead of motors

If someone has a car stolen, the police immediately circulate it's details and take to the highways in a swarm of investigative efficiency to track it down.
If someone has a bike stolen, it's like yeah whatever bruv, fill out dis form yeah.

Looking closely at that shot it looks like the bike has a pie plate and freewheel mount but no cassette or chain.

They're not doing very well..

Just to play devil's advocate - a stolen car is much more likely to be used in another crime than a stolen bicycle, it may be used for a robbery or joy ridden through residential streets at 70mph. The average car is also worth many mulitples of the average bike, and police typically don't give a fuck about petty theft of low value goods such as bikes, phones, watches etc etc. They know they're near impossible to trace, whereas with ANPR they stand a very good chance of tracking down a stolen car and returning it to the owner.

Don't get me wrong though, I still hate the filth.

Courier missions could be interesting - having to use a bit of agility to escape the cops, before using rocket launchers whilst standing outside a spray booth

Ftfy

You'll probably only get to use them to go on bike rides in the country with your 'friends' after they keep phoning you up demanding to.

Man I hated GTA4.

I agree.

There was a BMX level/mission in San Andreas, and a MTB race down a mountain I seem to remember. Alleycat/courier missions is likely

the bmx was very spinny
i hope they get a nice BRA on the fixie bikez 90 GI ftw

mission 4: get aerospoke
mission 5: sell aerospoke

quick $50 in the bank

well. It was only a matter of time I guess...

Yeah, I've been replaying San Andreas and spending most of my time on a stolen BMX. Got a lockup full of stolen BMXs, in fact.

I've been pavement riding, jumping every red light in the city, ramming into peds, knocking down other cyclists. Fuck the police.

Can you shoot from whiles cycling ?
