Having some form of entertainment is important to make cycling indoors more enjoyable. On a basic level you could just have headphones and music but you’re also going to want something to look at too other than a wall or your handlebars. Watching You Tube, Netflix, TV or a movie is a simple option providing you’ve set up the trainer in a position where you have a power source and screen stand in front of the bike. Alternatively, you could invest in one of the many interactive web-based platforms that create a much more engaging and interactive experience and for this reason I strongly recommend that you consider this. Most of the popular options below will offer a free trial period without commitment, so you could try them all out to find out what works for you. I’ve added a very short summary for each, but there is a lot more detail in their respective features and benefits which you can investigate via the link.
To run one of the online platforms you will need a system capable of running the application. That is most of the major platforms today. Mac or PC for the desktop, or Apple TV, any iOS device, or certain Android devices. You will need a bike and a turbo trainer. An ANT+ USB dongle or Bluetooth connection, which is how your cycling equipment will communicate with your chosen application on the computer – which is the most important part of the system after a turbo trainer and bike! A lot of people run these different applications completely on Bluetooth, but some prefer to keep an ANT+ connection, as you often get a better signal closer to the trainer. Finally, you will need a cycling metric device such as a Speed/Cadence sensor, Heart Rate monitor and a Power meter, although this final device is a luxury rather than an essential.
Zwift (there's a specific Reddit section on Zwift, much more detail than this brief summary)
https://zwift.com I cover Zwift first as this is currently the most popular indoor platform and has been hugely successful in getting more people to cycle indoors. It’s a very slick platform and can be great fun. Whilst (like many online platforms), it may take a little effort to set-up correctly, once you’re up and running there are endless possibilities that will allow you to take your indoor cycling to a new level of fun! Zwift allows cyclists to ride their bicycles on stationary trainers while navigating through different virtual worlds (Watopia, Richmond, London, Innsbruck, Yorkshire, New York, Bologna and City Citeriums). Cyclists may cycle freely around the game world and join organized group rides, races or workouts with other users. Zwift uses ANT+ or Bluetooth technologies to transmit data that, in combination with athlete weight and equipment choices, is used to convert the athlete's efforts as speed and power (watts). Zwift can also estimate the power of cyclists on conventional trainers via the user's cadence and the power curve of a wide range of specified trainers.
Trainer Road
https://www.trainerroad.com/ Trainer Road offers a wealth of specific training plans that are built around each rider’s goals. The plans are written by Trainer Road’s Head Coach Chad Timmerman, who has over 25 years of experience. There are over 100 different plans, which are very specific – for climbing road racers, criterium riders,
time trialists, rolling road racers, century riders, triathletes (sprint to full distance), XC Olympic, XC marathon, short track XC, cyclocross, gravity and general fitness riders. Trainer Road has literally 1000s of different workouts in its system, if that’s not enough, there’s also a workout creator where you can build your own session. Once signed up, you can choose a
training plan, log your sessions, as well as your fitness and progress – all inside the app.
RGT Cycling
https://www.rgtcycling.com/ RGT is a newer computer game-style indoor cycling simulator which launched in 2019 after four years of development. It’s designed to be a social platform with a multiplayer environment, where you can enter races and set up rides with friends. There are currently eight courses for users to explore. As well as major climbs like Mont Ventoux, the Stelvio and Cap de Formentor, you can also ride round Canary Wharf or over the Paterberg. There’s also a Tuscany course based on the famous bike race Strade Bianchi. One of the platform’s most striking features is Magic Roads. This converts a GPX file into a virtual course, echoing all the gradient changes and twists and turns of the original route. This is only available with a subscription. There are also structured workouts and training packages too. RGT Cycling say they've done extensive work into rider's movements to make the virtual world as realistic as possible, with drafting and braking all taken into consideration. Like the other game based platfomrs, you will need to download the mobile app (available on iPhone and Android) to connect your devices and register, and also the Screen App (for Windows, Mac, iPad and Apple TV) to give you the display.
The Sufferfest
https://thesufferfest.com/ Your subscription to The Sufferfest™ gives you unlimited streaming or offline access to their complete library of structured video workouts, each designed by experienced cycling coaches. No matter what aspect of your fitness you want to improve a workout with a video will be available to accompany your session. Sufferfest have partnered with the biggest names in the sport to put you in the middle of the most exciting professional bike races in the world. Official footage from races like the Tour de France, the Giro d’Italia, the World Championships, and other famous bike races takes you off of the sidelines and into the action. The platform provides clear, on-screen instructions so you know exactly what to do and when to do it. Real-time ride profiles, interval timers, sound alerts, effort indicators, and dynamic performance targets mean you can focus on “enjoying yourself” and doing what you’re told. There are some good analytical tools for the geeks out there too, as well as Yoga, strength and even mental attitude videos to work on other aspects of cycling performance.
CTS Training Videos
https://trainright.com/products/video-downloads Not necessarily an immersive indoor game like some of the other web-based platforms covered above, simply a library of around 30 indoor cycling videos. The training videos are on YouTube and can downloaded to your computer and they each cover a different aspect of cycling fitness. Depending on how you use them, they’re all hard workouts and allow you to gauge your effort using power, heart rate or just perceived exertion.
BKOOL
https://www.bkool.com/en/cycling-simulator Real routes and hill climbs and on the BKOOL simulator designed to give you the thrill of outdoor riding indoors. You can Challenge other users of BKOOL from all over the world or just train at your own pace, with training plans to help you complete your goals. BKOOL almost manufactures it’s own budget smart trainer, which they sold to Zycle in March 2020. The online training platform, which is something BKOOL has spent significant time on over the years, actually pre-dated Zwift. It just didn’t get the same explosive growth as Zwift. The company holds a solid #3 or #4 spot based on paying users (with the order being Zwift, then TrainerRoad, then either Bkool or The Sufferfest). While the company is heavily known in Spain, it’s not entirely Spanish driven.
PELETON
https://www.onepeloton.co.uk/membership If you enjoy the camaraderie of studio cycling classes and are intrigued by the idea of replicating that experience in the comfort of your own home, a Peloton indoor bike could be for you. Becoming a member of the Peloton is a significant investment: roughly £2,000 for the first year and nearly £400 each year thereafter. But for a set of indoor-cycling devotees, these recurring costs for live-streaming and on-demand classes make financial sense. Namely, those who typically take four or more Peloton-like studio classes a week may find the at-home Peloton bike and classes good value. Once you purchase the specific bike itself, you need to keep paying a £30 monthly subscription fee, or you’re left with just three classes and a free-ride mode that displays only real-time data on the screen, with no leaderboard-inspired competition or any record of your efforts. Peloton is an evolving company (it went public late last year), and
it will continue to attract competitors. The company seems healthy, yet it’s worth noting that the bike stays useful only for as long as Peloton continues supporting the content at the high level it does today.

submitted by Knowing how to design as well as code gives you a strong advantage as a software engineer. Bobby shares his advice on how to learn to code in this interview.
Hey, so can you introduce yourself?
Hi Pete, thank you so much for having me!
My name is Bobby Bobak, a full stack programmer with a degree in digital design.
I'm currently living in Manchester, England where I've been for the past decade or so, and was born in a small town located in the Tatra Mountains, south of Poland.
From a very young age I was into making things, and my parents have been inspiring me to get into entrepreneurship, designing things and appreciating great art.
I'm running a small company building apps and internal tools for record labels, and the music industry in general, as well as building digital products for consumers. One of which is called Filtru Coffee, a nifty coffee app which helps people discover, learn and enjoy specialty coffee at the comfort of their home.
Do you have some design tips for developers?
As developers we tend to focus on the way things work rather than they look, and I totally understand that it can be sometimes tricky to come up with an aesthetically pleasant, and easy to use user interface.
My top design tip for any programmer is to familiarise yourself with basics of visual hierarchy, such as typographic scale, and grid layouts. They served as blueprints for many designers simplifying the workflow of arranging content on a canvas. Now they can help us arrange pieces of built functionality, making it easier for an unfamiliar person to use.
A well laid out UI, with a visual rhythm leading the user through an app's window to a desired actions makes a world of difference.
As a designer, why did you want to learn to code?
My journey with coding goes way back to when I was 12 years old.
One day my father bought a computer and I have been captivated by it ever since.
As a kid the first thing you want to do on a computer is to play some games, sadly the PC we had was more of a home office type computer so I couldn't enjoy all the fancy 3D games at the time.
What I did instead, was to install apps and tools from various PC magazines at the time, to see what I can do with it.
Little did I know these apps will help me make my own games, 3D animations, and applications.
How did you learn coding?
It all started with making simple games using a very old Windows 95 application called Klik & Play. It was a PowerPoint-like editor to make simple board games.
You could add actions, triggers and animate characters, so I've made a driving game called "Mafia In the City" and gave copies out to friends and other kids in my primary school - it was a hit!
This didn't really require any knowledge of a programming language, but it definitely got me into learning more about what programming languages are, and how I can make better games.
After that, I went into a high profile arts high school, where I'd learn a lot about creative arts, such as drawing, wood carving, calligraphy and graphic design. It was one of the best experiences of my life as it made me aware of aesthetics, visual hierarchy and colour theory.
At the time I didn't really want to do much with computers, the school's aim was to push people into more traditional arts professions, they didn't have much teaching material in digital design, and I really wanted to go into graphic design.
With the rise of broadband in Poland a web-based online multiplayer game called OGame got really popular in my school. One afternoon a number of my friends came to me and asked if I could make a game like that, because they have ideas on how we could make it cooler.
We sat down, worked out the mechanics, set a theme and that evening I started learning HTML, CSS and basics of PHP, within 3 months we had a working game with a World War 2 theme.
Since then I've always thought of coding as a tool for realising creative ideas, turning designs into working products, and this approach has massively helped me at university. With the knowledge of front-end and back-end development I was able to show working prototypes and get top marks for all my assignments.
Do you have any tips for designers who want to learn coding?
My two top tips for designers, or anyone learning to code, is to start a small side project, and stay persistent. Small projects are the best types of creative outlets, they're personal and are a great motivator for experimenting with ideas.
Whether you're building a web, or a mobile app, there are countless resources to help you learn the basics of programming. It can be quite off-putting at first seeing syntax errors with every keystroke, and that's where persistence is key. Going through the hurdles of building an app, and eventually finishing it, can be a turning point for getting better at it.
Can you tell us about your coffee startup Filtru?
Filtru has been my side project for the past 4 years and it's continuously becoming a centre of my attention.
It is a mobile app designed to help people consistently make better coffee. It offers step by instructions on how to prepare 9 brew methods, a community feed of brew guides, and a one-stop shop for buying freshly roasted coffee with a tap of a button.
When at university I've spent most of my time co-working with other developers from local coffee shops, where specialty coffee was the thing to drink. The more I've learned about it the more I realised it's much more than just a fancy coffee. It's ethically sourced and of better quality.
Every coffee barista has their own way of brewing coffee, some play with the time intervals, other with the amount of water to coffee, and watching one prepare it can be quite a science show.
At the time an Apple Watch has just been revealed and I really wanted to explore it as a platform for apps. A coffee timer that would tap your wrist at specific intervals, making you follow World Barista Champion's recipe was my first idea.
The prototype worked great, but I soon realised it needs to be much more accessible. I've built the iPhone and iPad apps and a few months later started working on an integration with Bluetooth scales, to precisely guide someone on how to make that consistent pour-over coffee.
When I've released the app I didn't expect much from it, but pretty soon the downloads started soaring and I've started taking this project more seriously. Last year, partnering with local coffee roasters, I built an e-commerce platform where coffee roasters can tell their story, share the coffees they have sourced and roasted, as well as learn from the consumers on how the coffee has been received.
This year, after spending some time at coffee festivals training people to make coffee, and talking to consumers I saw a clear need for improving Filtru in the educational aspects.
With Apple's push for Augmented Reality I think Filtru can help visualise the process of making coffee much better than text instructions can, so currently I'm building the next version of the mobile apps, as well bringing the community feed to the web.
What are your career goals for the future?
I would love for Filtru to become my full-time gig, allowing me to focus on the more creative side of building products.
The coffee industry has so much to offer, and there are stories of so many people that work really hard to help you drink this coffee. I'd love to amplify those stories through technology.
If anybody's curious about specialty coffee, or would like to have a go at making AeroPress coffee check out Filtru or check out my Twitter
