Ride real-world terrain
Real route elevation drives trainer resistance, so climbs and descents match the road.
RCycle is free software in active development. It started as a passion project because I wanted to experience some of the world's greatest rides without being stuck with fake terrain, a tiny ride catalog, or one more polished subscription asking for $20 a month.
Pair a smart trainer, load a route link or GPX, and ride real elevation with live resistance and nearby riders.

Works with smart trainers over Bluetooth, with no ANT dongle required.
See nearby riders on the same route and join them in real time.
