The pedals will turn but the wheel does not - Cycling

On most cars, you need to slightly turn steering wheel and then turn key inside ignition switch. As for brake pedal being locked, do you mean it is all the way down to the floor ? Try to see if there is something preventing pedal from releasing.

If the wheels spin free then I would look at the bottom bracket. All of the force you use for pedaling relies on the bearings in the bottom bracket being good. Are the pedals hard to turn by hand? Do the pedals themselves spin freely? If the wheels turn, this really only leaves these two rotating points as possible suspects.

Put the chain to the inside of the front cog wheel, beside the pedals, first but not onto it, so you have plenty of room for pulling the chain to the rear. Fit the wheel back into place and before tightening it pull down the spring loaded arm, with the small cog wheel beside the back wheel. This takes the tension off the chain and allows you to put it into place on the back wheel. Tighten up the wheel. When it's tightened fit the chain onto the top of the front cog wheel. Lift the back wheel off the ground and turn the pedals forward. The chain will click onto the front cog wheel when you have turned the pedals one complete turn.

Well, the game has to first be compatable for the MAD CaTz Steering Wheel. The Mad CaTz Steering Wheel is compatable with almost any racing game. Instead Of Using the Pedal for the game, he can use the X button that is ON the Steering wheel.

Yes, something isn't turning freely. It's either the front wheel, the back wheel, or the pedals and chain. Lift the bike off the ground and turn the front wheel by hand. If it doesn't turn very freely, it could be the hand-brake is dragging or the hub bearing is too tight. Try the back wheel in both directions. It should move freely in the forward direction. When rolling it backwards it is normal for the pedals to move too if this bike has a coaster brake (that is the kind of brake that is applied by pushing the pedals backwards.) It the back wheel moves forward freely, but backwards is a problem, then try the pedals by hand with the rear wheel off the ground. If this doesn't turn freely, the pedal crank bearing (a.k.a. bottom bracket) is too tight. Once you have identified the problem take it back to where you got it. It should be easy to fix, or they should replace it.

the front forks as facing the wrong way, loosen the handle bar head stem and turn the wheel and forks 1180 degrees

you need a new coaster in the back rim. theres little gears inside that grab when you pedal forward and not backward. you stripped/broke the gears inside. take the back wheel off and if the sproket/cog spins both ways then you need to have it replaced.

Open the cap and put in about 10 drops of light machine oil (or sewing machine oil). Also put a drop or two onto all the turning parts of the rear axle. If it is still pedaling hard put another 5 drops of oil in the cap. Also oil the joints of the pedal sprocket and the pedals with a drop or two at each location..

Your rear wheel freewheel assembly is probably shot and the easiest solution would be to buy a new rear wheel. Bring the old one in with you to be sure you get the right one. Most of these can't easily be rebuilt.
