I was thinking about bicycles and tricycles earlier today. Bicycles and picnics, together in a single stuff pack make sense. Tricycles for toddlers.Bikes with training wheels for kids, then the training wheels could be removed when they get the hang of it.Bikes with a toddler seat on the back.Bikes with a basket on the front.That basket on the front, or one on the back, would be a great place to carry a picnic.https://i.pinimg.com/564x/b0/6a/9f/b06a9f1188c1f8c256a3f5851488a9d1--bike-baskets-bicycle-basket.jpghttps://www.lekkerbikes.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Lekker-rear-wicker-basket-dutch-style-retro-vintage-ladies-Jordaan.jpgLet's have a return of the picnic!https://img00.deviantart.net/d9a7/i/2010/222/4/0/vintage_picnic_by_kalinaa.jpghttp://mediad.publicbroadcasting.net/p/shared/npr/201407/328102288.jpgAnd the basket could contain whatever your sim chose to pack in it.Maybe we could do with some new sandwich and salad types.And things in aspic. And drinks in bottles.

I just had to say: it's fascinating that that quartet in the black and white picture are having a whole entire turkey for a picnic! I've never seen that one before. Turkey sandwiches? Sure. A whole turkey? A novel idea.Back on topic: I'd love to see picnics and bicycles make a return. A world with picturesque bike paths and bridle trails would be wonderful.

But don't you just hate cyclists that use pedestrian paths?

I like it!And I seriously want picnics back. They can add some gameplay like picnic proposals and romantic picnics, while they're at it. I really like the idea of sims feeding each other strawberries and sipping nectar on a picnic blanket.Ant attacks are fun as well. Maybe someone can steal some food if the basket is unoccupied. A game that is often played at picnics would be fun (maybe something like catch).Foods I'd like to see:- Sandwiches (egg; tuna; chicken; cucumber; cheese and tomato)- Sushi/kimbap- Drumsticks- Finger foods like devilled eggs, mini pies and hummus dip with carrot and celery.- Lemonade- The ability to pack any food you want into the basket.

@Cynna they're very, very, very hungry people? :p @Louise_G0325 Your ideas rock!Maybe kite flying and frisbee could be the picnic games.

That's why bicycles have a bell!

Most of the paths around where I live are shared, if you're a pedestrian, and you hear a bell, you move to the edge of the path, and allow the cyclist to pass.

where I am some bikes don't have bells-so I don't know if anyone is behind me unless I have Cider OR they yell something.

Wow! That's so strange, and rude!

Here, by law, all bicycles used in public must have a bell, and brakes, and reflectors, and lights if it is to be used at night, and you have to wear a helmet.
The bell is a very polite way of saying 'excuse me!'

We have a lot of these:

I have a few comments.

1. I would love bicycles but the are in which we have to ride in neighborhoods is limited. Tricycles actually seems like a good idea though considering the title ones wouldn't be peddling far
2. I would love to have picnics back I'd like to pack my own food choices. Pass the turkey
3. I like food in aspic it really is interesting
4. Movotti where do you live? Are you US or another country? I never see bells on bikes here.
