Playing video games and riding bikes are not mutually exclusive. I've been doing both for 40 years (though never simultaneously, yet)

Playing video games while biking was common during the Pokemon Go craze.

My wife still hits stops whenever we go out biking. Hell, sometimes that's the motivation.
