RIDE THE REAL WORLD, ONE PIXEL AT A TIME.

REAL ROADS

Every route is a real ride, built from its GPS track and map data. The climbs are where they really are, lakes and the sea lie beside the road, and the road is drawn as a chain of tiny isometric islands.

  • Climbs found and numbered, with their length and gradient, so you know what's coming.
  • The profile runs along the bottom of the screen, two kilometres ahead.
  • 7 routes so far, in Switzerland and Australia, with more on the way.
The game: a rider on the road beside Lake Geneva, with a sailboat on the water.

ALL ROUTES

LEADERBOARDS AND LEAGUES

Every route and every climb has its own board, like Strava's segments: overall, men and women, by age group, weight, country and period. Make a league, pick its routes and dates, and race it like a grand tour: stages, general classification, points, mountains, youth and women.

An example general classification, with fictional riders.

The game: the rider climbs beside a ghost and three robot riders, WATTSON 300W, SPROCKET 250W and COG 200W, with a list of gaps down the right.

GHOSTS AND ROBOTS

Race your best ride as a ghost, or the route leader's, or the fastest woman's or man's. Robot riders hold the watts you give them, so there's always someone to chase.

  • Ghosts replay real rides, second by second: MY BEST, MY PR, ROUTE LEADER, FASTEST WOMAN, FASTEST MAN.
  • Up to three robots, each from 80 to 500 W, in their own jerseys.
  • A list down the right shows who's ahead and by how many seconds.

SMART TRAINERS

Pedal Mania talks to Bluetooth smart trainers (FTMS), power meters, cadence sensors and heart-rate straps. The road's gradient sets the resistance, so climbs push back through the pedals.

  • Trainer difficulty decides how much of a climb you feel. It changes how hard the pedals push, never your speed.
  • Pair once and it reconnects at launch.
