Every year a wave of ROUVY employees disappears off to IRONMAN events around the world, and roughly half the team has finished a full distance or a 70.3. So we asked the person with the most finish lines behind him for everything he knows.

So you've bought a new bike, or you're in the market for your next two-wheeled companion. Shifting your old bike frees up space and cash for your next purchase, and while some of us would like to hang on to every bike we've ever owned, this isn't practical – eventually you'll need to let go of the old to make way for the new.

The bike is one of the most common cross-training tools for runners, particularly for those recovering from injuries or trying to manage impact and load in the lead-up to an event, but does cycling really help with running fitness? Well, the answer is more complex than a simple yes or no.

If you've travelled with your bike, you've probably had the pleasure of fitting it into a car alongside other luggage and passengers like a game of Tetris. The best cars for carrying bikes give you more room to play with and, particularly for mountain bikers, allow you to reach more remote off-road trails.

Cycling cadence is how fast you pedal, measured in revolutions per minute (RPM). It's a highly individual metric that shifts with the rider, the terrain and the intensity of the effort – which is why there's no single ideal number to chase. This guide explains what cadence is, what counts as a good cadence for cycling and how to find the RPM range that suits you, with a cadence chart for every riding situation plus drills you can do on your smart trainer.

We've all woken up the morning of a ride feeling out of sorts and not knowing if it's an impending illness, fatigue from a busy period, or simply a bad night's sleep. With the right data, you can wake up each morning and make a more informed training decision based on your overnight biological measurements and previous workout data.

Cycling is a highly repetitive activity that is excellent at improving cardiovascular-respiratory fitness and lower-body muscular endurance. But if the only exercise you do is cycling, your overall muscular strength, mobility, and bone density can be suboptimal. It's also a sport with a high occurrence of overuse injuries.

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.

Insuring personal belongings is typically recommended when there is considerable risk and the cost of replacement would exceed your means. For cyclists, that risk can be significant: many bikes cost into the thousands, meaning accidental damage or theft can be very costly.
