Indoor cycling

On ROUVY, you can ride socially with others in three main ways: join an existing group ride, create one for your own friends or use Ride now to join a friend already cycling on a route. Each option suits a different situation, from an organised public event with a shared start to a spontaneous ride with one or two friends. This guide explains how all three work, where to find upcoming rides and how ROUVY's social features help riders organise and stay connected.

Indoor cycling routines give each trainer session a clear purpose, helping you use limited training time more effectively when weather, daylight or a busy schedule keeps you indoors. A productive routine sets the intensity, recovery and duration in advance, so you can complete the important work without making every ride unnecessarily hard.

Indoor cycling workouts give every session a purpose, even when you only have half an hour. A well-chosen workout can build endurance, improve your FTP, prepare your legs for long climbs or sharpen the short bursts needed to close a gap. ROUVY pairs structured power targets with real-world route video, so you can complete the work while watching an actual road unfold ahead of you. These eight workouts cover a useful range of durations and training goals, helping you choose a session that fits both your available time and what you want to improve.

Thinking about Peloton but not sure it's the best fit? Explore alternatives – from indoor cycling apps, smart trainers and connected bikes – that may offer more flexibility, better training and lower costs.

In recent years, indoor training has exploded in popularity. Indoor trainer tech and indoor training platforms like ROUVY have played a big role in this increase by creating a much more engaging user experience. In this guide, we’ll discuss the different types of trainers, how they work, how to choose the right one and the other tools you need to get started.

There’s something about cycling that’s just better with other people. You can chat before the ride, motivate each other during hard sections and catch up afterwards. For many riders, the social side of cycling is just as important as the training. That feeling doesn’t have to stop when the winter comes or the weather gets bad. Group indoor rides have become one of the best answers to that problem.

The guilt and FOMO used to hit me like a brick every time I would turn down an outdoor ride in favour of my smart trainer. But sometimes, climbing aboard my trainer makes a lot more sense than meandering the rolling hills in my rural hometown.

Indoor cycling feels different when you’re riding with other people. Discover how social, immersive and motivating group rides on ROUVY can be.

A ROUVY group ride is a scheduled virtual ride where you join other riders on the same real-world route. You ride together around a suggested pace set by a leader and stay connected as a group from start to finish.
