Verdict

The best-looking scene in the test: a 16:9 coastal landscape with parallax hills, drifting clouds, a waving scarf, a helmet, and a pelican that glances around mid-ride. Wheels, crank and legs all animate, but the legs swing through a fixed ±19° arc while the crank completes a full 360°, so the feet float near the pedals instead of staying on them. It is a choreographed ride rather than a simulated one. A pause button is included.

What works

  • Richest scene and strongest art direction; 21 parallel animations.
  • Wheels, crank, head, scarf, pouch and parallax all move.
  • A real pause button, clearly labelled.

What breaks

  • Feet swing in a fixed arc and do not track the rotating crank.
  • No chain between chainring and rear wheel.
  • The wing balances in the air; it never grips the handlebar.
