However you ride

There's a road for it

Saturday morning with friends, a world nobody has ridden before, or the course you're actually racing in eight weeks.

Race rehearsals

Bring your race course indoors before race day. Drop in a GPX and ride the real route, with its climbs, descents, and turns along the way.

Group rides

Send your friends a link and meet on the same road, wherever everyone happens to be. Ride together, tackle climbs, and make indoor miles a little less lonely.

Fun adventures

Not every ride needs a training goal. Cruise through a rainbow, cross the dust of Mars, or explore somewhere that didn't exist until you imagined it.

Infinite worlds

Never get bored indoors.

A summer afternoon in the hills. Neon-lit Tokyo. A snowbound mountain pass. The dust of Mars. Start with one of our worlds, or dream up somewhere entirely your own.

Built for serious fun

Serious training doesn't have to feel so serious.

Whether you're chasing a goal, spinning with friends, or just seeing where the road takes you, make every ride your own, explore somewhere new, and have a little fun along the way.

Your rider

Make it yours

Create a virtual cyclist that feels like you. Choose your build, skin tone, hair, kit, helmet, and bike color once, then take your look into every world you ride.

Make your own

Dream it. Ride it.

Start with dozens of worlds, or create somewhere entirely your own. Describe a place you'd love to ride — from a foggy Scottish moor at dawn to a road across Mars — and OpenCycle brings it to life.

Real routes

Bring real roads indoors

Upload a GPX to recon your next race course, revisit a favorite climb, or explore somewhere you've always wanted to ride. The route and elevation become part of your indoor ride.

Ride together

Some roads are better shared

Send a friend a link and meet them on the same road, wherever they are. Ride side by side, trade pulls, tackle climbs together, and tuck into their draft when your legs need a break.

Structured training

Get the work done. Have fun doing it.

Hard training doesn't have to mean staring at a workout graph. Choose how long you have and what kind of session you want, and OpenCycle builds the workout around your FTP while you focus on the road ahead.

The workouts panel: FTP and duration controls above six session cards, each with a power profile and its watts, intensity factor and training load

Trainer integration

Just connect and ride

Pair your smart trainer, power meter, cadence sensor, or heart-rate strap and start pedaling. Your effort becomes movement through the world, so climbs feel like climbs and every watt takes you somewhere.

Metrics and sync

Your ride is yours to keep

See the numbers that matter while you ride — power, cadence, climbing, gradient and more. When you're finished, save your ride as a standard .fit file and take it wherever you track your training.

Pick a world, bring a favorite route, or dream up somewhere completely new. OpenCycle is free and ready whenever you are.
