  • New-to-me Zwift competitor
    I just saw a Reddit ad for the first time mentioning https://rouvy.com/ (indoor cycling software). Source: about 1 year ago
  • What Improvements would you like to see to Rouvy?
    I am not sure about your fourth question, rouvy.com has a huge amount of links with different type or rides "Top Routes Categories" also if you "Search for a ride" a search editor comes with many options including a check out field only for AR. Yes takes some time to get used to but it is a very complete and mainly graphically oriented editor. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Two parallel Rouvies.
    Another problem I found in rouvy.com is that if you look "Top Route Categories" they are there, except a very important one "Favorites". For Favorites I have to go to my-rouvy.com and select "Virtual Routes". Source: about 1 year ago
  • Two parallel Rouvies.
    There appear to be two variants: If I go into my account via rouvy.com I have my original profile picture (which I can't change) and in the Continental Climbs challenge the current holder of first place on the leaderboard appears only to have completed 4/6 rides (so he wouldn't be there several days into the challenge when others have completed all 6 rides).

  • Travel culture has me feeling massive FOMO
    If you ride indoors on a trainer with a bike and install the Rouvy app on a device you can travel to every continent. In fact at the moment they have a travel the world challenged which means you have tasks of riding specified routes on each continent. Check this out: https://rouvy.com/ I think it would be up your alley :-). Source: over 1 year ago

  • F’ck headwinds
    I’ve been using MyWindsock which handily adds a weather report including wind data, into my Strava activity reports so I k ow I’m not just being soft. That said having my power meter let me know my effort hasn’t dropped is handy as well. Source: 11 months ago
  • I ride bikes. These are my bookmarked websites. (no affiliation)
    Mywindsock.com ( for weather forecast, wind direction) $. Source: 12 months ago
  • Brompton pump dislodged mid-ride on a windy first 50k ride of the year
    Oh, somehting like that could be quite useful. Do you mean this one, myWindsock? Source: almost 1 year ago
  • Clockwise or counterclockwise?
    Mywindsock.com wind direction. And keeping steady huge climbs as early as possible when I am not depleted. Source: about 1 year ago
  • A fun side project proposal: app that notifies you when wind conditions are right to crush your PRs and KOMs
    Mywindsock.com - once you get over the idea that it's about old men uploading photos of their reusable condoms, it's a useful site for planning rides, although a lot of the low level wind detail is estimated, i.e. In a 1 mile section through buildings or trees it's not going to pick up on all of the gusts and changes in wind direction you encounter in realtime.
