Not sure how strict he's going to play it, but you probably need to "Look" to see what direction you can move.

Like "go East" or "go North" (even when your'e going "through" a door)

>The rough cobblestones were not well-suited for bike riding. Your front tire wedges between two stones and gets bent. You can no longer ride it and walk the rest of the way.

> You are at the imposing front door of Spooky Manor. There is a brass door knocker here.
