Synopsis:
Pick up your old push bike, put on your peaked cap and imagine yourself braving the streets of an American Suburb. Only superb riding skills and a steady throwing arm can get you through your seven day week of hilarious action. Avoid cars, workmen, drunkards and lawnmowers all out to obstruct you in your pursuit of excellence. Score points by delivering to all your customers, but you can get sneaky bonuses by breaking the windows of non-subscribers.
Its a difficult task but your employer believes that practice makes perfect and generously provides a practice track where you can score valuable extra points. Get ready for the ride of your life.

"A very colourful and playable game,but no sound.Close to the arcade conversion."
Gryzor says
"Colourful and nice (although somewhat chunky) gfx, no sound, but very atmospheric and addictive gameplay. I really love this one, it somehow manages to give you the feeling of the neighbourhood... Love it!"
Stephen Richards says
"An average Amstrad CPC arcade conversion. The Good things are the graphics are colourful and the playability is close to the arcade version. The Bad things are the screen size (gfx way to chunky) and the lack of any sound whatsoever, not even a squeak (no excuses). Overall a fun game, and it wont wake up the neighbours :)"

"Faithful conversion with great visuals, but the lack of sound really lets it down. The cassette version also takes far too long to load (around 9 mins!)"
