Everything the game does
From your first pedal stroke to the upload to Strava, here is what you find in WheelRid3.
Ride
Free ride: you choose a route and pedal at your own pace.
A complete dashboard
Power, cadence, heart rate, speed, distance and gradient stay in front of you. A mini-map shows your position and an elevation profile displays the remaining distance and climbing.
Your scenery, your mood
Four themes (countryside, mountains, suburbs, coast), three times of day and two kinds of weather. Display quality adjusts by itself if the screen slows down.
- Countryside, mountains, suburbs, coast
- Morning, noon or evening
- Clear or cloudy
24 virtual gears
A simulated gear that acts on the trainer's resistance: heavier, and the climb gets harder; lighter, and it eases. Keys, on-screen buttons or a gamepad. Active in Ride mode only.
Any road, including yours
Ten built-in routes. You can also search for a road near you: the game finds Panoramax photos within 10 km and shows them as street view. Or load your own GPX file.
- Street view with real photos
- GPX file import
- Ghost: race against your best or latest ride
Train
Guided workouts where the trainer sets the power.
41 workouts in 13 categories
Recovery, endurance, tempo, sweet spot, threshold, VO2 max, sprints, pyramids, over-unders, technique, climb simulation, strength and FTP tests. Each card shows the workout profile, its duration and difficulty.
- Search, filters and favourites
- Your FTP sets every target
The ERG player
Target watts, your actual power with a gauge, cadence, heart rate and the segment countdown. You can adjust intensity by 5%, skip a segment or extend one by a minute.
- ERG stop and a safety power ceiling
Coach Max
A virtual coach that reads your power, your target and your segment, then tells you what to do: hold on, ease off, breathe. It uses no online AI: its messages follow rules and are the same for a given workout.
- "In the room" option to cheer on the whole group
Live race
One room, one code, up to six riders.
The room
You create a room and share the code. Everyone joins with their account, enters their FTP and says they are ready. The race starts when everyone is.
- Choice of route and number of laps on the circuits
- Group workout: shared intervals, set as a percentage of each rider's FTP
Voice, chat and standings
During the race, standings and gaps update live. Group voice goes directly between participants, and a badge lights up on whoever is speaking. Chat accepts free text.
- Sprints and summit with checkpoints
- Peer-to-peer voice, relayed if your router blocks it
Podium and awards
At the finish: final standings, room record and three awards calculated in watts per kilo so different body sizes can be compared: best 5-second sprint, best one-minute effort and biggest improvement.
After the ride
What you keep once the ride is over.
A history on your device
Every ride is saved in your browser, with the summary, the time spent in each zone and the power, heart rate and elevation curves. You can back up and restore everything.
- FIT and CSV export
- Replay as a ghost
Upload to Strava
You review and edit the title and description before sending, and you can hide the start and end of the GPS track. During the beta, automatic upload is reserved for the game's creator: other testers export the FIT file and import it into Strava.
- Secure sign-in, no Strava password entered in the game
Garage and atmosphere
Your rider, your virtual room, your sound.
The garage
Two characters, jerseys, a helmet, wheels and a frame to choose from, with sliders to tune the colours. A Decor tab manages the slideshow shown on the screen in front of you.
Sound that follows your effort
Wind, chain, tyres and atmosphere are generated by your browser, with no audio files. A mixer sets each source, and four presets cover common cases.
- Realistic, Calm, Race or Silence
On your device
Nothing to install, few constraints.
- In the browser: Three.js and Web Bluetooth, no software to install. Chrome or Edge recommended.
- Installable: the game can be added to your home screen like an app.
- FTMS-compatible: smart trainers controllable over Bluetooth, and standard heart rate straps.
- Your data stays with you: your workout history never leaves your device.
- Individual accounts: personal access for each tester, invited by e-mail.
