This is sooooo annoying! I just wanted my sims to have bikes to ride them FROM TIME TO TIME. My vampires and mages can travel MUCH faster using their "Always teleport", "Vampiric running" etc.
Instead, they will put out a bike from the inventory, sit on it, travel, than put it back to the inventory, then reach the target at last. Takes TONS of time. I had to throw all bikes away to prevent this.

Yes! I ended up selling the bike

at first, I was confused as to why my sims suddenly had the option to walk and go places. seems like one of them is meant specifically to use legs and the other whatever the game seems as default beside legs. However, it doesn't seem to be consistent.

Sorry that this is a bit off topic.
@MarleyTheWizardFor me, as someone playing TS4 in Swedish, this is so annoying, because we have only one word meaning both walk and go, so in the menu we have two "Gå hit" ("[Go/Walk] here"). I mean, the feature isn't bad per se, it's just something that annoys me. xD

This continues to be a stupidly annoying problem. My Sims bike even when I select "Jog Here". initially I could force them to jog if I was quick enough to cancel them getting the bike out, but after his latest round of dumpster diving, my Sim simply selects the second bike in his inventory and uses that instead, forcing me to either let him abandon the bike, or stopping the interaction, go back to get the bike and then try again.

So many things mentioned here are why I sold the bike and haven't bought one since in any new save. How the closest thing to a vehicle we'll likely ever get somehow makes you lose time 9 times out of 10 is beyond me, yet here we are!

Just wanted to give my input, bikes are extremely buggy and unreliable. Sims place bikes inside buildings before riding them resulting in failed routing, sometimes the bike is placed and then its not used, there are inconsistencies when sims automatically decide to use bikes or not, sometimes my student will use the bike to get to class, sometimes they won't. It took nearly five years to finally get some form of transportation in the game and it's not even done right.
