A free MyWhoosh alternative that rides your own real routes

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

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.
