The “ROUVY forum” isn’t just a website – it’s a network of social spaces where virtual cyclists connect, share and inspire each other. From Facebook groups and Strava leaderboards to Instagram hashtags, ROUVY riders meet to celebrate achievements, swap training tips and discover new routes. Whether you’re chasing performance goals or just enjoying the ride, there’s a community waiting for you.
ROUVY’s more than just an indoor cycling app. It’s a gateway to a global peloton of riders who train, race and explore the world together. While the app delivers realistic virtual rides, structured workouts and training plans, races, and laid back group rides, the ROUVY experience is amplified when you join the wider community. This network – known collectively as the ROUVY forum – exists across Facebook, Strava, Instagram and Reddit, where thousands of cyclists share tips, offer encouragement and acknowledge each other’s milestones.
Whether you’re chasing a personal record, prepping for a road race, training for an IRONMAN triathlon, cycling to lose weight or hit your fitness goals, or just exploring fun new routes, the forum is where you can share your journey and get motivated by others.
ROUVY’s social media accounts aren’t just for friendly chat – they’re also where you’ll find the latest app updates and new features, upcoming community rides and races, bug fixes and more. They offer structured support and spontaneous, peer-to-peer engagement. From ride recaps to questions about indoor trainers and gear, there’s a conversation for everyone.
ROUVY’s Facebook page & the ROUVY Athletes | Cycling group
Facebook is home to two key touchpoints for ROUVY riders. The first is ROUVY’s official Facebook page, which keeps followers up to date on events, announcements, and inspiring stories from the virtual roads. Here, you’ll find posts on upcoming challenges, behind-the-scenes content from ROUVY events, and official guidance from the team at ROUVY HQ. It’s a perfect place to get news and insights, whether you’re planning your next ride or looking for tips.
Complementing the official page is the lively ROUVY Athletes | Cycling group – a rider-driven space for casual conversation and in-depth chats. Here, the community spirit shines, with cyclists sharing ride recaps, training insights, equipment recommendations, and encouragement. Members often post about their most memorable rides, discuss training plans, and share screenshots or videos from their virtual rides.

The ROUVY Club on Strava
For those who love tracking progress and stacking up achievements, the ROUVY Club on Strava is essential.
Strava’s a favourite platform for endurance athletes, and the integration between ROUVY and Strava makes it easy to sync your indoor and outdoor rides automatically. This means every climb, sprint, and kilometre from your ROUVY sessions can appear alongside your outdoor training, giving you a complete view of your performance.
The ROUVY Club on Strava allows riders to share their completed routes, compare times, and compete in friendly leaderboards. Monthly challenges encourage consistent training, while ride summaries showcase standout performances from the community. From hitting a milestone distance to conquering a famous climb, these shared achievements inspire others to push their limits.
Joining the ROUVY Club on Strava is also a great way to discover new routes and events. Seeing what fellow members are riding can help you plan your own sessions, while kudos from friends provide that extra push to get back on the bike tomorrow.
ROUVY’s Instagram account
Cycling’s a visual sport – from the sweeping views of virtual climbs in Europe to the wide open vistas found when cycling in the American West – and ROUVY’s Instagram account (@rouvyapp) is where those moments come to life. ROUVY’s Instagram is all about visual storytelling, with ride photos, event highlights, content from ROUVY partners Lidl-Trek, Team Visma | Lease a Bike and IRONMAN, inspirational reels, and behind-the-scenes peeks into ROUVY’s global events.
By following the account, you’ll not only get tips about upcoming challenges and features but also be treated to rider-generated content that captures the essence of virtual cycling. It’s also worth following popular hashtags like #rouvy, #rouvyapp, #indoorcycling, and #keepgoing. These open the door to a wider network of influencers who share cycling content from scenic screenshots and reels, to personal-progress updates.
Engaging on Instagram is as simple as double-tapping a fellow rider’s post, leaving a comment of encouragement, or sharing your own journey. Posting your training victories or favourite virtual routes can inspire others while giving you a space to celebrate your own progress. Instagram’s mix of official ROUVY content and creative posts from riders ensures there’s always something fresh to enjoy.
The ROUVY Route Creators group on Facebook
It’s also worth dropping by the ROUVY Route Creators Facebook group. Here, riders who use the first-of-its-kind ROUVY Route Creator tool gather to share their custom virtual cycling routes, exchange recording and editing tips, and help each other bring their real‑world rides to life in the ROUVY app. This group’s a great place to get (and share) advice on everything from mounting a GoPro correctly and organizing ideal lighting to defining lanes, placing 3D objects, adjusting visibility, and processing routes smoothly. Whether you're looking to record your own region’s hidden gems or perfect your editing workflow, this is where creators get together to discuss turning rough footage into immersive, augmented-reality rides.
The r/Rouvy Subreddit
Beyond Facebook and Strava, ROUVY also has a home on Reddit in the r/Rouvy subreddit. With more than 5,100 members, this corner of the internet is a great place for riders to share routes, troubleshoot tech issues and give feedback on the app. Posts can be anything from feature requests and route suggestions to tech-support threads. If you prefer a text-based, threaded community, r/Rouvy is a more personal, user-driven space within the larger ROUVY-sphere.
Conclusion: Join the ROUVY peloton online
Joining other ROUVY riders online means you’re never riding alone – even if your indoor trainer is set up in the corner of your living room.
