Virturidr was created from a passion for exercise, well-being, and virtual cycling. We believe that virtual cycling can provide new inspiration and motivation for staying active and turning indoor training into something to look forward to.

At Virturidr, we believe that training doesn’t have to be a chore or solely about heart rate and wattage numbers. Instead, it should be something enjoyable and exciting. That’s why we make it as easy and convenient as possible by having everything set up in advance—so all you need to focus on is pedaling.

Virtual Cycling

Virtual cycling, has been around for several years. It started when a new method was found that allowed athletes to train indoors when circumstances made it necessary. Initially, people started with stationary trainers where you could attach your own road bike by securing the rear wheel. It then evolved so that you could remove the rear wheel and simply connect your chain to a cassette that was fixed onto the trainer. Further development has now led to the creation of Smartbikes — fully integrated bikes designed exclusively for Virtual Cycling. Some would call it a very advanced exercise bike.

To get the most out of training, software was continuously developed to provide data on the effort put into the pedals. At first, it was a program where you could choose a training plan to follow. Development has now made the software more advanced, providing an immersive training experience. This is done by sending signals from the trainer or Smartbike with data on the pedaling effort, which is received by the software program. The software converts this data into a visual representation of an avatar resembling the rider. You can then place this avatar in different worlds and on various routes. Most stationary trainers and Smartbikes are designed to adjust resistance automatically, for example when you are cycling uphill or climbing a mountain.
