Ride the river.
The game needs JavaScript. The words below still tell you about the trail.
How to ride
A lap of the velodrome, then the river.
- Pedal Tap the right side (or press Space) once for each turn of the pedals. A steady rhythm near 90 a minute is fastest; mashing tires you out.
- Shift Swipe up or down on the left side (or press up and down). Shift up when your legs spin out, down for bridges and wind.
- On the track You ride one fixed gear, so up and down move your line instead: stay high on the banking through the turns.
- Bell Ring it (or press B) before you pass walkers, and they step aside. Startle them and you lose points.
- Brake and spot Hold Brake (or the left arrow) to stop for geese. Tap the heron and the leaping salmon (or press S) to spot them.
