About
Cycopath is a revolutionary game which enables you to exercise as you have fun playing a game. Exercise bikes have long been in existence, including some which enable you to view a pre-recorded video of some scenery as you cycle. Yet there comes a point when these machines become boring; after all, you’re just cycling on the spot and not really doing a lot.
What we have achieved is to create a racing game in which you are thrust into a modelled world which you need to cycle around. We have taken a regular bike and hooked it up, via USB, to a computer which enables you to actually cycle the bike and watch it correspond to the action of the modelled bike on screen. When you turn, it turns, when you pedal faster, it moves faster, when you brake, it slows down.
Everyone knows that cycling is a fantastic method of exercise but why not have fun whilst doing it? Why not cycle indoors whilst playing an addictive and fun game at the same time? Beat your own or others’ high scores, watch calories being burnt, or even race against another person.
With the game’s incredibly simple interface and design anyone can play this game. You don’t need to be an experienced computer gamer because the game has a unique and simple style - experience in racing games will not necessarily aid you. You don’t need to be an experienced cyclist either, you can start with short races and build up to longer ones if this suits you. You don’t even need to be able to ride a bike, as the bike itself supports your weight and can’t topple over, you simply climb aboard and begin pedalling. It is an interactive game which can cross all age, gender, fitness and skill barriers due to its innovative, easy and overall fun style.
