There are so wonderful places to ride a bike, but the problem is that it is really not all that easy or affordable to take a bicycle on a globetrotting trip. The next best thing might be to virtually ride the world. That’s where Virtual Active comes in. The company, which has a partnership with IndoorCycling Group (ICG) has announced the release of MyRide Version 3.0, which promises to be the next-generation media console for indoor cycles. It utilizes content from Virtual Active via a 17-inch touchscreen high-definition display.
This includes more than 60 hours of entirely of entirely new media content, with more than one million different workouts and plenty of variety to keep users riding through the winter and other bad weather. Locations include the Rockies, the Swiss Alps and even the Mojave desert, and each is available for a variety of workouts that include warm-ups, intense spinning and cool downs. The coached content is also available in English, German and Spanish.
“Never before has such high-quality outdoor video been welded to our flawless technical coaching and motivation,” says Bernd Pürschel, founder and CEO for ICG. “We have a completely new result that will change the indoor cycling experience for the future.”
So while we prefer a ride that actually takes us somewhere, we know the riding year round sometimes means heading indoors; and this could make indoor riding a whole lot more enjoyable. And you don’t even need a passport to ride the world.
