The Problem With Spinning Bike Subscriptions
You spent €1,000–2,500 on a high-quality spinning bike. Now you're paying €39/month for Peloton All-Access or similar fees for NordicTrack iFIT, Echelon, or other platforms. That's €468/year just to use the bike you already own.
What if your subscription lapses? Your expensive bike becomes a dumb exercise bike with no screen content. Some manufacturers even lock basic functions behind the subscription.
CycleRun gives your spin bike a purpose — forever, for free.
How CycleRun Works With Spinning Bikes
CycleRun doesn't connect to your bike's electronics. Your webcam watches your legs pedal. The AI detects your cadence and adjusts the video speed in real-time.
- Works with any spin bike, any brand, any age
