Virtual indoor cycling app: A variety of routes with Bkool
The Spaniards give bikers the choice between millions of routes from the real world or a virtual animation. Thanks to the sheer variety of routes and guided courses, the software has made a name for itself among frequent trainers. You can choose from routes through Rome, Central Park in New York City, Alpe d'Huez and Lombardy. The offer ranges from road races to mountain tours and mountain bike adventures in the Andes. The Bkool Video Editor can also be used to upload self-recorded routes and share them with friends. This makes it possible to repeat the summer ride in winter. Bkool takes indoor training to all corners of the planet. The fact that the Company now part of the Rouvy Group should not change this.

Ultimately, however, the diverse routes are still a means to an end. After all, roller training is primarily about training progress and not the distance travelled. The app should offer just as many options for personalised training as it does for route selection. For example, an FTP test can be used to determine your own performance range. Based on these values, the app adjusts the resistance of the roller in order to personalise the training as much as possible. During the actual training session, users can choose from a pool of different training units with different objectives. The units are then evaluated and physical performance is analysed using various parameters.
