Can You Bike Downtown Medford?
We built a game. Your mission: ride your bike through downtown Medford without getting hit by a car. Sounds simple, right?
The streets are based on the real downtown Medford grid: Jackson to 9th, Oakdale to Riverside, railroad tracks and all. You start at a random intersection and need to navigate to the downtown zone while cars fly past on every street.
Why a Game?
Because sometimes you need to feel what it's like to share the road without protected infrastructure. Every time a car hits you in the game, you'll see the same message we've been saying all along: Medford needs safe bike lanes.
If you get hit (and you will), the game gives you a direct link to email your city councilor. Think of each crash as a gentle nudge.
Each time you make it downtown, the streets get busier. See how many levels you can survive.
Play now and then take action for real.
