The truth is, cycling requires capital investment and this can be the main barrier to entry for some. I have also realised there are many people who are interested in starting but don’t know where to begin. I have silently watched how the cycling community has grown exponentially over the past 10 years and that excites me. From the 94.7 Cycle Challenge and the Cape Town Cycle Tour to the Absa Cape Epic and Joburg2C to the Col de Marie-Blanque and Col d’Aubisque in the Pyrenees which have been part of he Tour de France the past few years. With that being said, I have cycled a fair share of the easiest to the most difficult of cycling races and tours locally and internationally. In the past 10 years, I have learnt a lot about the sport – from road cycling to mountain biking, to different kinds of cycling kit, different bikes, different ways of training in order to improve my cycling and different techniques of cycling. Some hardcore players may find the quests disappointing and lacks depth, but overall, it is an entertaining FPS.I got into cycling exactly 10 years ago when I completed my first 94.7 Cycle Challenge on 11 November 2008.Ĭoming from a running background at the time, it wasn’t a difficult transition but a lot of work had to be done to eventually get comfortable with a sport that requires balance plus sitting on a small saddle for kilometres on end. The visuals are good looking, and the mobs have interesting mechanics to keep you moving and aware. The game manages to combine the best elements of a competitive shooting game with parts of an RPG to provide players a unique experience. The Cycle is a shooter, unlike any other. Each weapon is distinct and powerful and will fulfill a role that fits your playstyle. There are also various weapons available, so long as you have the credits to spend for a supply drop. Fortuna III is a patchwork of environment, where one moment you are harvesting mushrooms, and you’re crawling through a mine tunnel the next. More than the interesting gameplay, The Cycle also boasts a colorful, diverse arena. There may be times where you don’t even have to shoot your gun. The ultimate goal of the game is getting to the dropship and getting out of the planet in one piece. The game’s main point is questing and fulfilling the contracts within a set time. You also do not need to be the last man standing like in battle royale games. Unlike other action shooter games, The Cycle does not focus on racking up a high bloody count.
