Shuttle craft would be required to boost cargo and consumables to matching orbits, but the cyclers themselves would be very efficient.

Read that again, carefully....

To refuel and resupply the cyclers, you would need to inject your shuttle craft into an interplanetary trajectory.

Doesn't sound "very efficient" to me.
