MyWhoosh is the free answer to Zwift, and it is more complete than a free app might suggest. You ride an avatar through worlds modeled on real places, including Hudayriyat, California, Belgium, Colombia, Australia and AlUla, join social rides and daily events across time zones, and train with more than 730 workouts and plans written by coaches. A web workout builder lets you create, import and export your own sessions. MyWhoosh is the official partner of the UCI Cycling Esports World Championships from 2024 to 2026, so the top of its racing is serious. MyShift adds 30 virtual gears on any supported smart trainer, and Speed Sensor Mode lets riders on a basic trainer take part using a speed sensor. The app is free; purchases are limited to gems for cosmetic items. The trade-offs are a smaller community than Zwift and a 3.7 rating on the US App Store.

Who it is for

Price
