Anyone here played Death Stranding 1? How do I use the bike (reverse trike) properly? (lemmygrad.ml)

So early on after completing a few key deliveries we finally get a bike at distribution centre. We aren't able to use it the first time but the next mission gives us a generator that makes the bike usable.

The problem I have is that I can't take it anywhere. Once the game allowed me to use the bike, I was supposed to go to Capital Knot City but there's a mountain in the way that the bike can't traverse. How should I use the bike properly? Should I just leave it before the mountain/hill, traverse on foot from there, then hop on the bike again on the way back? I didn't do this because I thought the bike would disappear (stolen by MULEs or other porters maybe).

(I feel so stupid. I painstakingly managed to take the bike to Capital Knot City somehow by hopping and jumping at whatnot. But I can't bring it back from there because of the adverse terrain. So I stuffed it into the Capital garage and am now walking around like a jabronj.)

I left my bike at the distribution centre and walked. But my partner actually made that drive. I still think walking was faster though. But it doesn't matter that much... You'll be out of the tutorial area soon. My advice is to just go. You'll get things that can traverse faster than a bike later in the game, and you can come back and 5 star things in that area later.

Also, just a tiny bit later in the game you'll have bikes coming out of your ears. It's fine to just abandon them when they're no longer convenient.

Edit: Also, there's a mechanic in the game that makes a path over your most travelled routes. So it gets easier the next time around.

In that case I'll just forget about the bike and go with the flow.
