OWN TRAIL..... THE OTHER CYCLES: VIO
LET, GREEN, AND BLUE, ALSO MOVE IN A..SI
MILAR WAY. THEY ARE JUST LIKE YOU EXCEPT
THAT THE COMPUTER..CONTROLS THEM. LIKEW
ISE, IF THEY CRASH INTO ANYTHING, THEY..
DISAPPEAR. THEY LEAVE TRAILS, TOO. IF ON
E CYCLE CRASHES, THE..OTHERS REMAIN UNTI
L THEY ARE TRAPPED AND CRASH, ONE BY ONE
