VeloPopuli — the people's indoor ride. Ride real GPX routes in 3D on your smart trainer. Free and open source. velopopuli.com · Guides

This is an early release. The 3D world, physics, workouts and progress tracking are well tested; real trainers and sensors are only now being tried, and the Windows and Linux builds have had little use. If something doesn't work, the app's Report a problem → Report on GitHub builds a diagnostics report for you — please send one.

What's new in 0.3.5

  • Road surfaces you can feel (optional): concrete, gravel, cobbles and earth roll heavier than tarmac, so you slow on screen and the trainer gets harder by the same force. Turn it off under Settings → Trainer & physics → Feel the road surface.
  • Mountain-bike trails: ride graded singletrack, paths and bridleways from OpenStreetMap. Harder grades roll heavier and have a speed limit; trails are narrow with no barriers, look like worn singletrack, bank into berms on tight turns, cross streams on log bridges and splash through fords where there is no bridge.
  • Find waymarked mountain-bike routes in an area and ride one.
  • Off the mapped roads, a route rides a dirt track instead of tarmac.
  • The trail and surface feel is new and hasn't yet been tuned on real trainers — feedback welcome.
