I was hit by a car about 5 years ago. Nothing major but enough to shake up my nerves. I quit riding and eventually unsubscribed from this sub with my previous account.
About a year ago my wife and I got gym memberships. The gym has 2 of these bikes and I was drawn to them. I hopped on and couldn't get enough. On New Year's Eve I finished the last course.
Fast forward to about a month ago when I was out for a run one evening. I was watching the sun set and thinking about how beautiful it was and wondering why I didn't ride my bike any more. I remembered the accident and then I remembered a friend that was hit by a car while running and how he got over the fear and ran a marathon last year. The very next morning the same friend asked me out of the blue if I still had my bike and that evening we went for a ride. I don't really believe in fate but that was strange. Last week I subscribed back to r/bicycling and it seems like there's a post about somebody dying in a crash every single day but I'm going to keep riding. I regret losing the last 5 years of my life to fear and I sincerely hope that you don't do the same.
Funny, when I play video games I'm usually looking for something that I don't already experience in my day-to-day :P
To really answer your question though, I don't think there exists any game remotely like what you describe except for maybe Crazy Taxi / Simpsons Hit & Run (Which ironically romanticize the very opposite of what I advocate in real life) and certain "smart" exercise bikes. But as an Oculus Rift owner and a fan of new media and alternate gaming I've thought a lot about the winter training potential of VR headset / bike trainer / bucking bronco tilt platform / surround sound simulator mashups.
I also once fleshed out a concept for a game that brings the rule set of an FPS / dogfight game into urban biking using laser tag equipment and smart phones, sort of an "Alleycat FPS". In reality it'd probably be terribly dangerous, at least in NYC. But if anyone's curious I can describe how it would work.
