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 0.3.9

  • Handlebar controllers. Controllers that speak OpenBikeControl, an open protocol for handlebar buttons, now work over Bluetooth. Shift virtual gears, raise or lower the ERG target or workout intensity, skip a workout step, pause and switch camera without letting go of the bars. Pair one under Devices → Add Bluetooth device…; it shows as Controller. Thanks to Jonas Acker for adding it.
  • Pairing, written up. The README and the guides now walk through pairing a Bluetooth device step by step, and what the Devices list tells you.
  • Controller support is new and hasn't been tried with a real controller yet. If yours misbehaves, Report a problem in the app gathers what's needed to fix it.
