24 alternatives to CycleQuest – Indoor Cycling game with steering
Hello HN! I made a game for smart bike trainers focused on gamified progression, real-world locations, and steering using a smartphone. It differs from other apps by requiring you to complete routes in a specific order, without the ability to skip or make it easier. It's available for Windows and macOS. Last year, I got into road cycling. Because of this, I acquired a smart bike trainer (you attach it to your bike and apps can control its resistance via Bluetooth). I tried a couple of apps but quickly became bored. I feel they are mostly focused on either online racing or a serious…

I spent the past three years developing an exercise game for indoor smart trainers called Startona. The game is built from scratch in TypeScript and only uses a couple of small libraries. The result is a PWA that showcases the capabilities of a modern web browser through technologies like Web-Bluetooth and WebGL. Developed to turn turbo-trainer workouts into intense gaming sessions, Startona combines structured workouts with exercise games that boost specific aspects of the player's fitness, such as speed, power, and endurance. Although Startona is built for fun by providing new and unique…

Hi HN, I’m a high school student in Seattle who loves riding hills. I found that route makers like Google Maps get you from point A to B on a bike, but they don’t give you fun routes. So i made my own RouteScout lets you: - Control the surfaces (never gravel or dirt with a road bike!) on the route - Indicate your preference for hills (I LOVE or HATE hills gives you different routes) - Prefer routes with bike lanes and cycling paths and roads made for bikes. - Filter types of roads (big roads gone!) - And when looping around it won’t take you back on the same exact road on the way back…
