Because they have never gotten around to Try Cycles.

[Lanadazia]

cause everyone got plenty of phiarlan pendants of time laying around

[gravisrs]

You don't need bicycles when you have hover board, I mean Sky Sleds

[Annex]

A thirteen wheeled vehicle with one missing wheel just makes more sense.

[Brandwynn]

It would only confuse the locals.

[Hawklynn]

Perhaps these guys got the rights for Bicycles in the D&D settings (although not sure if it applies to DDO):

[dredre9987]

Because! Could you imagine the air traffic?!!!

[spifflove]

Because we ride the sleigh.

[spifflove]

A thirteen wheeled vehicle with one missing wheel just makes more sense.

That’s bicyclely the same.

[DoctorOfLiterature]

Bicycles are fun but horses look cooler and teleportation is faster.

[Saekee]

because the horses, unlike the bikes, fit in the backpack

[Egilson]

Because the horses took and vote and they said, "nay."

[krzyysiek098]

Because they still use horses.

[Dragonlover333]

In Stormreach, the frequently uneven ground, twisting paths, and other city-planning oddities make bicycles impractical at best. (Imagine a reckless hooligan riding down a Deneith ramp and crashing into someone below.) In Sharn, the vertical nature of the city makes Soar Sleds far more useful.

[Dulcimerist]

Because they're two tired.

[The_Human_Cypher]

The sound of the squeaking wheels make the Warforged nervous.

[JLintheForum]

Because they're still lobbying with the Dragons to use them as Fly Cycles.

Why doesn't Eberron have bicycles? There are too many stairs and the kobolds refuse to carry the bikes up and down the stairs for all the lazy citizens.

[Jerevth]

The Coin Lords wouldn't be able to tax them sufficiently and still encourage sales.
House C couldn't safely and efficiently upgrade them with crystals because the design specs clearly require at least four levels of artificer.
House P sees them as a threat.
House J got tired of all the broken bones, sprains, skinned knees and broken teeth.
The Twelve couldn't agree which Mandala would go inside each rim, and a revolution backward is required for every revolution forward.
House K didn't like that the bicycle requires longer legs.

All the bikes in Sharn were tossed off the edges by hooligans and gangs.
Those should start hitting the ground any time now.
