BikeStudio is a free alternative to ride and train online with your friends. Here is a quick video to get you started,

Setting up BikeStudio for a Time Trial This video shows you how to install BikeStudio and ride a virtual time trial. You need a Windows PC or tablet, and a compatible bicycle trainer (ANT+).

Sorry for the Facebook updates that trickle down slower than the slowest snail...

Been too busy programming...

Just uploaded version 5.0 of BikeStudio. It won't knock Zwift of its feet, but it is really is quite sleek. Added HTML ride mode directly in your web browser (in addition to the workout mode already in the browser).

You can always check out what's brewing here, http://www.freetrainingplan.com/files/BikeStudioVersionHistory.txt

Don't miss in version 4.28 of BikeStudio the ability to automatically upload your rides and workouts to TrainingPeaks and Strava! From the "Users" page, you will see the link to connect to TrainingPeaks and Strava.

Heads up... version 4.24 of BikeStudio has Strava integration. Connect to your Strava account on the Riders page, in your Contact section. Here is a quick recap of a Covey Hill ride in BikeStudio using Strava and Relive,

In the last newsletter there was mention of a custom HTML interface. Here is a sneak peak of an interface designed by https://lesmanifestes.com for the ZVP Studio of the Centre Multisports in Vaudreuil (https://centremultisports.org/). Looks really sharp with 6 different candies for various achievements. This is a great solution for studios that want their unique look and branding.

There is a cool new feature in BikeStudio 4.09 (released today) called "Watts adjustment". We all know there are different kind of watts - Tacx watts, PowerTap watts, Computrainer watts, Stages watts, etc... You get it, all watt measuring devices don't exactly correlate to each other, and all manufacturers over claim their accuracy. Even different units from the same model, often have considerable differences.

So with "Watts adjustment" you can calibrate stationary trainers and power meters to a reference device. Let's say you have a trusty PowerTap wheel, you can measure other power devices in reference to your trusted power meter, record a couple data points, and voila, let BikeStudio do the magic. Now all power measuring devices are "corrected" to the reference power meter. Yes, it's brilliant!

You can do this in two ways in BikeStudio. If you have stationary Computrainers or ANT-FE-C trainers, you enter those data points in the "Station mappings" accessed from the Settings page. For "on bike" ANT+ power meters, you enter the data points when pairing the ANT+ power meter associated with the rider.

Enjoy!
