Yes, you're correct - I shouldn't have said "cycle". I was refering to an Eulerian path, which is all you need to solve the Bridges of Konigsberg problem as it is described in the article. A cycle adds the constraint that the path starts and finishes at the same place, and then all the nodes must have even degree. But you don't need a cycle to just cross all the bridges once.
