I know that there have been many suggestions for bikes in the past, but mine is a bit different.
BICYCLE
I think that bikes should be able to jump 1/2 a block just to jump over gaps and other things as such.They should automaticly be able to get up slabs, stairs, and other 1/2 blocks. They should also be able to fall 1 block without damage, but break when falling 2 or 3 blocks. Another idea is to make the bike built of sepaate components: Frame, handlebars, wheels, tires, gears,(if they are brought back), and pedals. It seems like a lot, but it would be worth for what you get in return: The bike would be able to accelerate up to 2X the speed of walking and would have the ability to hitch a cargo trailer.
SPECS
Max. Speed: 6 blocks/sec, (uphill or straight) ; 7 blocks/sec, (downhill)
Acceleration: 2.5 blocks/sec/sec
Braking: -6 blocks/sec/sec
Jump Height: 1/2 block
Jump Distance: (depends on speed)
Tire Wear: 1 set of tires = 250 blocks
Damage: falling more than 2 blocks will break the wheels
Crashing: player loses 1/2 a life if crashes, bike sustains damage,(doesn't break)
Controlls: W = accelerate
S = brake
Mouse = direction, (just like walking)
Space = jump
I think that a pixelated version of that would look all right. It'd be great if someone drew out what it would look like in the game. As for the first-person view, instead of seeing a pick or an item, the player would see the arms of the character and the handle bars. Also, when going uphill or downhill, instead of seeing straight out, I think it would be better if the view was inclined up or down accordingly.
CARGO TRAILER
The cargo trailer would be able to conain 1 chest or one person. The trailer can be attached to the bike in a work bench. The trailer would reduce the maximum speed of the bike by 1.5 blocks/sec. The bike will lose its ability to jump if the trailer is attached. If there is a player sitting in the trailer, they would be able to look around, but won't change the direction of the bike or trailer.
RECEPIES
Trailer,(same recepie as boat):

Hitch:

Wheels:
Tires: []
* = rubber
USES
- Quick and easy transportation
- Great for exploring alone or with a friend
- Downhill biking trails
- Racing with friends
I know that this a very complicated thing to make, but it would be very useful. Also, it would be great if someone were to make a mod out of this if bikes dont appear in minecraft.
Doesn't seem quite right with minecraft, although i cannot find anything wrong with it. Seems out of place, not supporting unless you make it more Minecrafty.

Cargo trailer has to be a different recipie from the boat. The game wouldn't be able to tell them apart. And there's no ruubber so that has to be added before this is possible too. And eeeehhh..I don't really feel like it's needed although I'm sure many will disagree with me.

APPEARENCE
What I had in mind is a simple and basic fixie bike, something like this: http://monsterfixie.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/shas-bmx-airwalk-fixie.jpg

Thanks!
Awesome slime mod!
