The free online games that can be found on so many sites on the internet are very diversified. You can find games with all sort of crazy and funny topics. Some of the games are using fictional characters, but others are using real persons as characters to make the game more fun to play. Whether if they are using real or fictional characters there are many games categories. Here are some of them: racing games, adventure games, RPG (role playing games), shooting games, dress-up, games for boys, for girls, for adults, educational games, puzzle games and many more. But one of the most famous category of games are the sports games (such as : football, soccer, volleyball, basketball, golf, ski, surf and so on).

Cycling is also a famous sport, so there are many cycling games on the internet. Whether if you find it in the sport games category or in racing games, you can always enjoy a fun bicycle game online. So this is what we are going to discuss in this article. We’ll search for some cycling games, play them and then talk more about each one.

Let’s begin with the Mountain bike game from the famous site miniclip.com. In this game you will have to perform crazy stunts while racing to the finish line with your mountain bike. For each stunt you will get a number of points, and you can see your final score after completing the level. Use the UP arrow key to pedal faster and accelerate and the DOWN arrow key to slow down. The left and right arrow keys are used to lean forward or backward. These keys are useful to adjust the bike when you are in air and also  to do tricks (such as wheelie, flips and others).  You can also perform cool tricks by pressing the space bar, which will make your bike change direction. This it is not a race to be the first across the finish line  so you can always turn back on the track and do more tricks, and get to the finish line when you see the time is running out. Don’t try to make crazy stunts, and be careful to land safely. If you don’t, your bike will crash into many pieces and you will get a time penalty. Before starting the real game, we suggest to go in the training mode. Here you will learn all the possible tricks from the game. First you will see an demonstrative movie, and then you can try that trick yourself.



All the other games from miniclip.com containing the word “bike” in their name, are actually motor bike games, so we have to move on to another site. Another famous site with free online games is funny-games.biz. Here you will find an interesting and also weird bicycle game. It is called “Weird bicycle game”. We also mentioned that is interesting because it is one of the few games where you get to see the action behind the handlebars. In most of the games you can see just an outside perspective of the bike, but here you can feel like you are really riding a bike. All you have to do in this game is drive forward and avoid the white teddy bears that will get in your way. Use just the mouse to steer the bike. The game is weird because you ride a bike on a field, and there are white bears on the field. But the great thing about it is the famous “Bicycle race” song from Queen that you can hear as background music. Have fun!



It seems like all the sites have just one bicycle game, and the rest are motor bike games, so we have to go on another site. Let’s choose the Downhill Mayhem game that we found on gamesfreak.net. First you can choose your name and your shaving style. There are all the bear types, such as hunter, dirty shave, Hollywood style, chin puff, goatee and others. The goal of the game is to race to the end of each level busting out as many tricks as you can. If you land in the water or run out of time, you will fain the challenge. While in the game, press the UP arrow key to accelerate and the space bar to jump. In the air, press the space bar and one of the arrow keys to make tricks. Your time bonus and trick bonus are combined to give you a final score, which is then given a color rating. By clicking on the “Trick guide” you will be able to see all the tricks that you do, and also the score for each one. The graphic of the game is really simple, and you can’t even see the face of the bike rider. So now you might wonder why it was necessary to choose a shaving style for your player. Well the answer is: because this game was made to advertise the famous Braun company, which among other products it also makes electric shavers. Good luck!



Finally we found a site that has more than one bicycle game (gamefreak.net). So now let’s play the BMX Pro Style game. As the name says, in this game you will ride a BMX. First you get to choose the name and design of your rider. You have many kinds of helmets, T-shirts, trunks and shoes. After that you can pick a track and from what we see there are just 2 of them. This game has quite a lot of controls. You have to use the arrow keys to steer the bike, the Q, W, E keys for hard style, the A, S, D for easy style (all of these keys are used to make tricks) and the Z and X for rear and front break. So if the controls are complex, the graphic of the game is also complex and really nice. I never seen a bicycle game that allows you to use both the front and rear break for the bike, so after all this is quite a nice game, especially for the extreme bike sports fans.



Another fun bicycle game from the site is called the “Alex Trax”. In this one you will have to use your kid from the bike to reach the exit and complete the level, without breaking your neck. In some levels you will also need a key to open the exit, so be careful to pick it along the way. Use the arrow keys to control the bike and the SHIFT to jump and accelerate and also to perform stunts. The space bar is used to flip direction. As you advance on the track, you will also see some panels containing useful hints, so be sure to read them and respect the advices. If you don’t you might fall and breack your neck, and then start the level all over again. Good luck!

So these were just a few fun bicycle games, and there are so many more to be found on the internet. Just make time and search for them. And if you find some that are really cool, tell us all about them!

Anyone who used the internet so far, probably also played a free online games. These are absolutely free games, that can be found on many sites, and most of them are using the flash technology. They have a simple graphic, simple controls are they usually don’t last for a long time. The most famous flash games, especially among the kids, are the funny ones. They feature some crazy and funny looking characters and you can get them to do all sort of things. Some of the characters are even inspired by the real life. For example you can shoot aliens with Barrack Obama, or make George W. Bush to dance or help Paris Hilton escape from jail. But not all the online games are funny or silly, there are some serious games too. These can be educative games (especially for kids) or can be more complicated games for the adults. In this category the most famous are the word and puzzle games. These games usually take a much longer time to be completed, and they also stimulate your intelligence, creativity or language knowledge.

Some of the games require installation, but you can also play many free word and puzzle games without downloading anything! Just go on a site, choose the game, and play it directly from that site. A site that offers many cool and free games is shockwave.com. Beside the games that we are going to discuss today (word and puzzle) the site also contains other types of games. These are: jigsaw games, action, strategy, racing, sports, adventure, card and board games, shooters, family and kids, hidden object, matching, music and photos and also time management games. So you have many categories, and much more games to choose from, so you will never get bored with the same game.

Like we said before, today we are going to discuss some puzzle and then word games. Let’s choose a random puzzle game first, and we’ll pick the “Grave Shift sewers”. Here you will have to reclaim King Krump’s lost treasure and to collect all the gold and gems you see. Make your way to the White Warlock’s  lair and deliver the message. Look for the keys to unlock the many gates to his hideout. Rid the land of the Warlock’s minions and slide the right blocks onto the Monster Generators to destroy them. Also find the stolen relics for extra gold and don’t forget Kink Krump’s Violin. To replenish your health and courage, look for food and elixirs. When you reach the Warlock;s portal you will complete the level and unlock the next one. And finally…be brave! So don’t get scared of all the creatures that will get in your way. The character looks and sounds really funny, especially when he gets injured :). When in the game, just use the arrow keys to move him in all the directions. Good luck!



Now let’s play another puzzle game, for example the “Civiballs 2: Empire Bounce & roll”. This is quite an interesting game that will stimulate your mind. Your goal is to drop all the colored balls into the pot that has the some color. For example the red ball must go into the red pot. You will have to use just the left mouse button to cut a chain. When you cut a chain, the ball attached to it will fall. You will have to calculate the exact trajectory of each ball, and make sure that it will go into the correct pot. Be careful at any object in front of you, because it will change the path of your ball. The first levels are really simple, just so you get used with the idea of the game. But it will get more and more difficult as you advance in the game. You will have to trigger different object, and the paths of the balls will become more and more complex, but also interesting to watch. So this game is really fun and addictive. If you noticed that you made a wrong move in a level, just press the space bar to restart that level. In this game there are three major levels (Rome, Vikings and Inca) and each one has 10 other levels. So have fun!



Now let’s play a word game too. The “Hollywood jumble” sounds really good, so let’s pick this one. By the way, if you don’t see the “Word games” category on the site, press on the “More” button to reveal the hidden game categories. Now let’s get back to the Hollywood jumble game. This game will test your English knowledge, but also the information you know about Hollywood, movies and celebrities. You will have a few questions in front of you, and you will have to answer to each one, in the fastest time possible. There is no time limit, so you can always visit google and search for the answer to a question that you don’t know.  Just drag and drop the scrambled letters into the solution box, or simply type the word on the keyboard. The red circled letters contribute to the clues in the game’s final Jumble Solution. To complete a level you will have to reveal the final solution. Good luck!

There are so many sites on the internet offering these types of games, and one of the best is miniclip.com

It is a complex site, with a lot of games  and it even has versions in many languages (such as English, French, Spanish, german, Italian, Chinese, Japanese and others). So this is a proof that the games from this site are played by people from all over the world. You can choose a game to play from the alphabetic list with all of the games, or you can choose one by the categories. Some of the game categories are: action, brain training, Christmas, dancing, girls, kids, multiplayer, political, racing, puzzle, shooters, sports and many more.



There are so many games that sound really interesting, and we don’t know which one to choose, so we’ll just close our eyes and pick some random games. First we’ll play them and then discuss more about each one. Let’s begin with the Minilympics game. As you might figured it out, it is a sports game, one with Olympic challenges. First you can choose your player and you can pick a man or a woman, each with the specific equipment. Just like in the Olympic games, you will have a few different sports to choose from. The events from these game are: 100 m sprint, 110 m hurdles, long jump, high jump, archery, pole vault, discus, javelin and weightlifting. Now let’s play each of the events and see which one is the coolest.

We’ll begin with the first challenge, the 100 m sprint. After the game begins, wait for the starter’s gun. After that press the B and N keys in turn as fast as you can, to make your player run. It will seem difficult at the beginning, but after you find the exact rhythm to press the B and N keys, the player will run really fast, with the power bar at its maximum. Just run like this until the finish line and try to be the first one.



Now let’s move on to the next event, the 110 m hurdles. It is pretty much the same as the first one, the only difference is that here you will also have to jump over hurdles. So just press the B and N keys alternatively to make the player run and the space key to make him jump over hurdles. Be careful not to start before the gun shot, because you will be disqualified. This event is even more difficult than the previous because after making a jump the player will lose some of the speed, so you will really have to press faster on the B and N keys :).



The next challenge is the long jump. As you may already know, here you will have to run as fast as you can and then jump on the sand, as far as possible. The controls are the same: the B and N keys to run and the space key to jump. There are no opponents here, so you just have to beat up your own length. The next event is the high jump, and this is pretty similar to the long jump. The difference is that you will have to jump as high as possible, and over the pole. The controls are also the same, but first of all you will have to set the height of the pole using the arrow keys. Begin with a smaller height and as you get better raise the pole higher and higher. You can go as far as 3 meters, but this is quite impossible to achieve. Good luck anyway!



The next one is the archery event. Here you will just have to aim the target using the arrow keys. But actually it is not that simple. You will have to set the target quickly otherwise it will begin to rotate faster and faster on the screen. And also the arrow will not go exactly where you set the target. So you will have to aim higher to make the arrow touch the target.  The pole vault challenge is also quite fun. First set the height of the pole using the arrow keys, but try not to go so high, especially if you are a beginner in this game. After that use the same B and N keys to run and the space to jump. But be careful to jump at the right time, and not go over the jumping point because you will fail.

The next one, the discus is quite nice. Use the B and N to gain power and rotate faster, while in the same time be careful at the angle bar. When the power is high, and the angle is good, press the space bar to throw the disc. It’s pretty much the same at the javelin challenge too. Run as fast as possible using the B + N, and when you get to the right spot, before the white line, press the space bar. Then you will see the angle bar so be careful to choose the perfect angle. Then press the space bar again to throw the javelin, and hope that it will go as far as possible.


And finally the last challenge, the weightlifting. First use the arrow keys to choose the weight you want to lift. You can pick a weight from 5 kg up to 50 kg. Here just press the B and N keys to gain power. But be careful to maintain a constant and growing power, otherwise the player will drop the weight. Good luck!

This was just one of the many flash games from this site, and if this was so much fun to play, imagine how all the other hundreds of games will be. Some of them are more complex than the Minilympics game, others are simpler but all of them should be funny. So whenever you have some free time, just enter the site and play as many games as you can. And if you find some others that are cool, let us know too! Have fun!
