The Moveee team
Free coaching · a real route for every ride
MyWhoosh did something important: it proved indoor cycling doesn't have to cost a subscription. It's a genuinely good, genuinely free virtual world. But "free" isn't the only thing people want — a lot of riders are really searching for a free MyWhoosh alternative because they want to ride real roads they know, not a designed fictional island, or because they'd rather not download and update an app at all.
If that's you, here's an honest comparison — and yes, we build one of the alternatives, so we'll say so plainly.
MyWhoosh vs a real-roads browser app
| MyWhoosh | Moveee Indoor | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free | Free (alpha) |
| Install | App download per platform | None — runs in the browser |
| World | Designed fictional worlds | Your own real routes, rebuilt in 3D |
| Structured (ERG) | Yes | Yes |
| Racing / groups | Yes, growing | Not yet |
| Saves to Strava | Yes | Yes |
Details move as both apps develop — check before you commit to either.
Where MyWhoosh still wins
Being fair matters. MyWhoosh has a population — races, group rides, other riders to chase — and that's the hardest thing for any newcomer to replicate. It has polished worlds and a growing event calendar. If riding with people is why you train indoors, that's a real reason to stay.
Where a real-roads alternative wins
The pitch for Moveee Indoor is narrow and deliberate: rather than a fictional world, it renders your own saved routes in 3D from real OpenStreetMap and elevation data. Ride your summer loop in the depths of winter. Recon a course you've entered, corner by corner, before you get there. It's a free indoor cycling app that runs entirely in the browser — nothing to download or update — holds ERG targets, and saves rides with full power data that count toward your Moveee training plan.
You don't have to choose just one
Both are free, so there's no cost to keeping both around: MyWhoosh for the group rides and the buzz of other riders, a real-roads app for the days you want to ride a road you actually know. Try each for a month and keep whichever one still has you clipping in come February.

How to build a cycling training plan around a full-time job
You don't need 12-hour weeks to get properly fast — you need the right 6–8 hours, placed where your life can actually hold them. Here's how to anchor a working week around two quality sessions and one long ride, what to cut first when work explodes, and why a plan that adapts beats a plan that's perfect.
How many TSS per week do you actually need?
TSS puts one number on how much training you've done — but how much is enough, and when does more stop helping? Realistic weekly ranges by rider level, the ramp-rate rule that keeps you improving without breaking, and why chasing the number corrupts the training it's meant to measure.
