Bicycles are pedal-driven two-wheeled vehicles that appear in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories and Grand Theft Auto V. Bunny hops can be performed on a bicycle. The player can fall off a bicycle if the player collides with enough force.
GTA San Andreas introduced the pedal bicycle to the Grand Theft Auto series. The player can increase Carl Johnson's cycling skill through long rides on bicycles or on the stationary bike at the Gyms. The higher the skill, the less chance Carl will fall off the bicycle, the higher he can bunny-hop, and the more responsive the bicycle is. When pedaling on a bike, when you perform a wheelie, you can reach a higher top speed. Bicycles are known to be completely indestructible. RPGs, grenades, molotovs, and vehicular explosions do not harm the bike in any way. Although, if any of these happen while the player is riding a bicycle, he will die.
In GTA San Andreas, because of a glitch, any bike will catch fire and explode if it somehow ends up resting upside down. This is a very difficult task to achieve, however, because the bike will almost never stay standing upside down for more than a few seconds.

Trivia
- Bicycles are absent in GTA IV.
- In GTA Online, Bicycles cannot be insured. Therefore if a player's Bicycle is destroyed, it can not be brought back.
- In GTA V, if the player activates the invincibility cheat, and rides near enough to an explosion to cause the wheels to fly off, the player can remain on the bike and continue to ride it as it skids around. However, it will possess extremely unresponsive handling, and will be very slow.
