Cycling 2013 app review: take on a challenging race

Introduction

You don't have to be a world-class cyclist in order to win big in this game. The Cycling 2013 app for your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone lets you move through this race course that features 15 different stages. There are a few different game modes to choose from, all kinds of terrain to cycle through, and you'll need to not just watch the track but your own stats; you also have to be aware of what the other cyclists are doing.

Take on a Variety of Courses

There is no such thing as a mundane track to race in the Cycling 2013 app. Every course you take on offers its own challenges and fun. You’ll be biking through mountains, flat areas, cities; all kinds of great environments. There will be points you'll be on the velodrome banked track and the road and of course your technique will need to reflect these changes. As mentioned there are all kinds of variables that will affect your race outside of the course itself. You need to watch out for aggressive cyclists trying to beat you and be wary of your own fatigue level. It’s a balancing act that you'll need to work on perfecting in order to excel.
