59 - The Rise of Indoor Cycling Apps

This is a crowded market

Every week, someone approaches us with a new cycling training app to rival Zwift, Wahoo, Peloton, Bkool and TrainerRoad. Honestly, we are a bit bored by this market and it’s a bit stale, but we can’t let that hold us back from sharing new brands.

But these companies do make $millions every year, so don’t let us hold you back, just make it interesting! Like killing zombies, or something like that rather than making it “feel like reality”.

Here are the top 5 new cycling training app brands that have made it past the concept stage and are now gaining traction:

VIRTUPRO: Brings you closer to reality
