Free Rider
Free Rider — Simple Bike, Big Air
Free Rider is a 2D bike-riding obstacle game first created by Pete “bohst” H. in 2007, known for its simple stick-figure art and physics-based tracks. The game puts you in control of a lone stickman cyclist who must survive custom-built courses full of ramps, gaps, and strange terrain. It’s easy to understand, but every track brings a new problem to solve and a new stunt to attempt.
Controls
Use the arrow keys to steer and tilt. Angle your bike midair so you don’t slam the front or flip over. Small adjustments beat frantic button-mashing.
Tips for Smooth Runs
Start slow. Learn how each jump reacts to your angle and speed. When you see a loop or long jump, line up your approach early. Practice the same section a few times — muscle memory helps more than luck.
Features
Free Rider is easy to pick up and hard to master. Minimal graphics, tight physics, and short levels make it ideal for quick sessions. As you progress, levels introduce trickier obstacles that demand cleaner landings and better timing.

FAQ

A: No — most tracks are short but packed with risky sections. Replay to master them.
