I have a few random suggestions that I though of while circling Watopia last night, some may have already been covered elsewhere…
-
Need a few people and noise in the villages, maybe some life at the local pubs and restaurants, and definitely need good oom-pah band somewhere.
-
How about pressing those ski lifts into service and giving people the option of a ride up the hill? Of course there has to be a penalty applied to this sort of laziness, e.g. losing more XP for riding the lift than gaining from the bike ride downhill.
3. A triathlon/TT mode where say drafting within 10m for more than 20 secs automatically gains the rider a compulsory 30sec stand-down at the side of the road. Or, you get a visual warning but can only get a stand-down if a Blue Man (draft-buster) happens to be nearby at the time.
-
How about a quick way to glance over the shoulder and see what’s happening, or coming from, behind?
-
A few off-road trails, and the ability to select a mountain bike.
-
The ability to crash (and immediately get up again unhurt of course) when certain unfavourable conditions arise (e.g. too fast around slippery corners).
