Hello, Mayors!
Cycling is rolling into your cities.
Colossal Order has published a Developer Diary that explains the new bicycle mechanics: dedicated bike lanes, cycling policies, and the buildings designed to encourage and support bike traffic throughout your city. Read the full diary here: Developer Diary — Bike System.
What’s included in the Bike Patch
Beyond bikes themselves, the patch adds several new assets and improvements: five new service buildings (including additional sizes for wind power), expanded public transport options with fresh stations and depots, new park assets, and an entirely new zoning category. The update introduces “Old Town” Residential and Mixed zones available in both North American and European styles.
The update also contains a host of bug fixes and balance adjustments — including further pedestrian behavior tuning following the Bridges & Ports update — plus visual tweaks such as subtler bus-lane coloring to better complement the new roadside greenery. And that’s just the start.
Release date: The Bike Patch launches on November 19, 2025 at 10:00 AM CET — get your helmet ready!
