Get ready to ride with these tips

Before a Ride

A few quick prep steps can make your indoor ride much smoother:

  • Hydrate wisely: Aim for one bottle of water per hour, or about 500 ml every 15 minutes.
  • Keep your device charged: Augmented Reality (AR) routes use more graphics processing, which can drain your battery faster. Have a charger nearby.
  • Stay dry: Keep towels close to mop up sweat and protect your floor.
  • Cool down: Place one or two fans near your setup to help manage heat, especially in summer or on tough climbs.

Show or hide other riders

Starting with version 2.18.0 of the ROUVY app, you can choose to hide other riders from your view during a ride:

  • Go to Settings
  • Toggle Hide other users

This cleans up your screen by removing all rider avatars and pins. Perfect if you want a more focused, solo experience. Read more about in-app settings here.

Keep in mind:

  • Other users can still see you.
  • This setting only affects your view.
  • It's not available during Group Rides or Races.
