Every January, thousands of cyclists write training plans. By March, most are gathering dust. The riders still going strong usually have one thing in common — and it isn't discipline. It's company.
Accountability beats willpower
When it's 7 AM and drizzling, willpower says sleep in. But if three people are waiting at the meeting point, you go. Social commitment is the strongest training aid ever invented, and it's free.
Scheduled rides structure your week
Joining rides on CycleBuddy puts real appointments in your week. A Tuesday evening spin and a Sunday long ride you've committed to beats any plan you're negotiating with yourself.
Progress is contagious
Ride with others and you naturally push a little harder on the climbs, hold pace a little longer, learn to eat and drink properly. Group riders improve faster without ever following a plan.
Build your streak
CycleBuddy records your rides and shows this week's distance, time and average speed against last week. Find one weekly ride near you, join it every week, and watch what happens to your fitness by summer.
