🚲 Summer CyclePlay
Summer Cycle is a quiet bicycle ride through a Japanese village on a summer day. There are no races or timers: the road is a 640-metre loop, and you can ride it as many times as you like, noticing something new each time.
Flooded rice paddies run along the left, and on the right stand a row of old shops with signs, power lines on wooden poles and camphor trees. The time of day changes as you ride: noon with white clouds, golden hour, sunset over the fields and blue dusk, when fireflies light up in the grass. You can step off the bike and walk through the yards, then get back in the saddle.
All geometry, textures, shop signs and sound — chain, tyres, wind, cicadas — are generated in code in your browser, with no downloaded files. Play without an install or an account; a Levbee account keeps your metres ridden and achievements in your profile. Russian and English are included.

PlayHow to play
- Get on the bike. Press W to pedal and the bike rolls down the country road.
- Change the hour. T cycles noon, golden hour, sunset and dusk as you ride, without stopping.
- Step off the bike. F parks the bike on its stand: yards and shop signs are easier to see on foot.
- Look around. The mouse turns your head, V switches to first person and C brings in the cinematic cameras.

FAQ
Do I need to install it?
No. Everything is rendered live in the browser with WebGL, so there is nothing to download and no file to run.
Can I play without an account?
Yes. The account is optional, but with one your metres ridden and achievements are kept in your profile rather than only in this browser.
Is there a goal?
No, it is a calm ride: you can simply ride and look. Achievements mark the distance you have covered — 500, 2,000, 5,000 and 12,000 metres.
Can I just watch?
Yes: the “Hands off” mode sends the bike down the road with no controls, like a screensaver, with no score and no hints.
Does it work on a phone?
It opens on touch screens, but it is made for a computer: the scene wants a graphics card and the controls sit on the keyboard.
