Zwift is a juggernaut. For casual cyclists, it's the only virtual training platform they've likely ever heard about. It's such a phenomenon that it has almost become the Hoover, or Kleenex, of indoor cycling.

Despite its huge status in the virtual riding space, it is not the only option. There are many other options out there, each with its own strengths, weaknesses and set of dedicated followers. Some of the other big players include TrainerRoad, RGT, Bkool, Wahoo SYSTM (formerly Sufferfest), and Rouvy. Today we are going to take a look at Rouvy.

Josh hails from the Pacific Northwest of the United States but would prefer riding through the desert than the rain. He will happily talk for hours about the minutiae of cycling tech but also has an understanding that most people just want things to work. He is a road cyclist at heart and doesn't care much if those roads are paved, dirt, or digital. Although he rarely races, if you ask him to ride from sunrise to sunset the answer will be yes.
