Recently deleted Rouvy, the real life videos were great but as a platform i found it dull, boring & bereft of other riders.

I did think twice about downloading the app when I realised it was a UAE company,I have yet to use it though.You are correct,we should be aware of sportswashing,it seems to be getting bigger and bigger. One example is the English Premier League allowing the Saudi Regime to purchase Newcastle United FC. There were some rumblings in Parliament about this,but the UK government supplies the Saudi regime with weapons and the use of RAF engineers to maintain their airforce whilst the Saudis bomb Yemen. Our government then sends aid to Yemen. Go figure! My thoughts are there will be many decent people working at MyWoosh in order to earn a living. The world is a crazy place with many contradictions and different regimes working together to benefit themselves,sometimes justified,sometimes not. It’s the way the world has always worked ,unfortunately.

When will we get a Mario Cart race mod to these apps?

You racing in the DIRTy Sprockets Smash 4 week series on Tuesdays?

Now we are talking!! IndieVelo is the best platform by far

Have buyed on November 2023. But have problem wz microphone. During phone calls the other part can not hear me. !!! Any solution or recommendation is highly appreciated. Peace

That’s a rho not a “p”

I aint a roadie, but I enjoyed that. It rises from the ashes, and returns to dust. Pheonix and Coasters will be missed 🤟

Cool video but a strobe lighting warning would have been nice on this video...

😢😢 Well completed, sad to see it go! Thanks ❤

Cancelled Zwift AND Rouvy. Liking MW but hoping indievelo can accomodate me with Apple TV because I'd like to try it.

😂

nice vid 🙂

Northern Rd is one of my favourites nowadays. I ride it from the other end.

Wow This video wow ❤❤❤❤

how are you playing the gb games on the laptop? are you holding a controller and sitting upright or resting yoru hands on the handlebars somehow?

This one's a ripper. Stopped it after a minute to get a coffee. That's big praise, btw.

The only problem I have with My Whoosh is no sound when riding, I like hearing the crowd cheer as I'm struggling up a hill.

Oof sleek kicks brotha!

The CIA of usa are far worse than the UAE most likely. All they do is overthrow governments, start wars and assassinate people. Corruption is everywhere, dont die on that hill.

good video homie. from your boy in Athens, I think the most important one is to ride with confidence, ride the lane, don't just sit as tight to the curb as you can. and if you ride with confidence you ride predictably which will only help drivers know what you are trying to do. Other than that i guess all your points are valid if you aren't confident. Never used a radar because I don't see the need but again, for those that do and it helps them, awesome. for sure lights, even though i only run mine in low light and at night, but i'll dispute the bright clothing one until the bogan gives you space on the road, if a driver can't see a cyclist they should hand in their licence, theoretically based on this argument pedestrians should need to don a neon vest to cross the road, it makes no sense to me, if thats a valid reasoning i want all cars to have a neon speed stripe from hood to trunk too. But you know me, i'm here being a troll ;)

Nice one. I use two rear lights - one flashing (magene radar taillight) & one steady (clips on to jersey). The flashing light draws attention, the steady light "'clarifies" my position on the road (in theory).

I spoke to come cops (here in Queensland) on one occasion after a completely unnecessary close pass while exiting a small roundabout. The cops confirmed that without video or photo evidence of an incident there's not much they can do as it's your word against the driver. They'll visit them and ask for the driver's side of the story if you complain loudly, but unless the driver says or does something stupid to incriminate themselves or offend the cop nothing's going to happen other than maaaaaybe a warning. I do resent the idea that I should have to spend hindreds of dollars on a camera so the cops can identify the arsehole who killed me. But I guess it's like any form of insurance. You begrudgingly pay for it and hope you never need to rely on it.

I recently bought the Knog Mid Cobber front and rear lights to add to my small, but bright flashers front and rear. Knog is a bit pricey, but these babies provide 330deg arc of light so you can be seen from the side, eg, intersections and during an overtake, as well as directly in front and behind.

From another burgo on a bike, I believe the dark clothing is one of the biggest issues with visibility now days. A small front/rear light doesn't cut it when it is dark. Why did the industry think a black jersey would be ok at night???

Good tips...agree with you that 99% of drivers are fine it's the small minority that are oblivious or ambivalent about the vulnerability of non motorist road users. Even worse though is the bravado and hate that social media affords the (often) anonymous voices. I can only hope that these keyboard warriors don't follow through with action when they are behind the wheel of their vehicle

Great advice dude 👍👍🚴🏻pete 👍🚴🏻

My Garmin Varia is one of the best pieces of gear ive ever bought! Helps me anticipate the potential dickheads.

Briefly mentioned Trainer Road which i subscribed for a year. After 4 months and planning for a goal event which was a race in the hills i was dropped on the first climb. TR just didn't simulate hill climbs in their training. After going back to zwift training plans for a few months i got a PB on an outdoor climb so I'll not go back to TR. The lack of graphics also demotivated me

What about FulGaz app have you try it?

Top vid! Keep it up

Firstly, thanks for putting the time into the review. You've nailed a lot of key points. I am a Rouvy user and have picked the platform over Zwift and stuck with it. When I first started, I did find it hard to find races or group rides with enough riders to make it engaging. Obviously, some people do workouts, but also there are SO MANY routes that I believe a lot of the users are spread out amongst those routes. If you want to "just ride", you'll likely find a lot of people on the challenge routes, and the route panel shows the number of riders currently on a route (which may help you decide). I did find that most people organize their rides OUTSIDE the Rouvy platform; either with IRL groups than plan rides in the off-season, or with Rouvy groups like GRC and Muckers (who responded here)... and ROuvy has enrolled these groups to label their Races as "Official". This said, once you find a group, there's usually a regular cadence or schedule. Otherwise, "Official" races occur on a schedule, and I learned that the most active users seem to be on European time, and you're most likely to get good turnout in the off-season. Also, it is not a racing platform; i.e., there are no rankings or seasons, etc. For me, I think this is fine... it's competitive enough once you find a group to keep it interesting and fun... people take it seriously... but not too seriously.

Rouvy question. When you finish one of the routes does it show a mark or something that it is completed? I prefer to ride alone somewhere different every day but don’t want to keep a spreadsheet of the routes I’ve done. Thanks!

Following these on the gram made my tour this year even better. Just watched now and still loving them dude. Well done mate

Great vid bruz :)

Love to see a virtual bike game on the new unreal engine. That would be sweet. It would just add to the immersion

Gostei mais do mywhoosh, porem indievelo é mais leve para meu pc

If youre an Aussie do you love Taj Farrant the 15 year old blues guitar god? He is Stevie Ray reincarnated! Will an Stages SC3 smartbike work usingmywhoosh or indievelo? I like free stuff. For the coming winters old man training.

I'm an older man and just want to use mywhoosh along with a Stages SC3 for this winter here at home. Will it work? I'm a cheapass and I hate any monthly bills.

What have you made of fulgaz?

"5 wins, 5 WINS ..." ... you clearly didn't count on Tadej on the final TT stage 😂

Amazing series mate, can't wait to see how you navigate the femmes 😂 Also keen for this to continue on through to other tours, world champs and Olympics 💪🥇

Yup just buy Caden wheels. I cannot recommend these things enough, serviceability, price & performance. There's really no other brand that can compete.

Good insights. Btw: About the Shokz cable issue. I got some little USB-C-to-Shokz convertors you can use to turn any USB-C cable into a Shokz cable. They've got tiny lanyards on them, so I can use a mini zip tie to attach one to a USB-C cable, and it there when I need it. Keep one in your saddle pack and you'll never run out of juice. I got mine off AliExpress, and i think I paid US$5.0 for three of them. Cheers

I dropped in on the MyWhoosh vid, came back for IndieVelo. I'm using both, and they're PBG - pretty bloody good! Subbed! Cheers

Forgot to mention that Rouvy also has several route partnerships such as the vuelta, challenge triathlon and pedalitaly so you can try official race routes from grand tours, world championships etc.

The muckers races Sunday morning and a few evenings plus the Sunday afternoon grc races are the most popular. Grc tend to be shorter flatter whilst muckers are often mountains. Tourmalet, zoncolan, plateau de beille etc. Race stats upload to Rouvy site after everyone has finished. The different bikes make a difference depending on the type of route and there are a lot of wheels to choose from. Ghost riders and avatars of previous riders are available. Kudos stuff is available now and maybe in game chat is on the way. I stream a lot of races if it helps give people an idea, as does team GRC in the pinned comment.

Doing indoors again and tried mywhoosh and i liked it. Not gonna pay for something that im gonna use for like 2-3x a week and i only need something to spin down on rainy days. Also i dont even look at the game itself im watching netflix or youtube when indoors lol So mywhoosh being free is a win for me :)

I'm sick and tired of the "sportswashing" narrative. Arabs deserve at least sliver of the slack given to the Europeans. I mean, why should we cry "sportswashing" whenever anything good comes out of the Arab Peninsula when the entire fucking European continent is able to wash away CENTURIES of colonialism, racial based slavery, human rights violations and war crimes? I mean, how long ago was that?

Indievelo is hands down the best indoors cycling app at the moment, be it racing or group riding! It's physics engine blows Zwift and other away!
