If it's your first time, and you just want to pedal around to get familiar with the game, and make sure your equipment is working, then we suggest trying the Kickstart Cup. From the Home Screen > Play Now > Smash Cups, and click on the Join button on the Kickstart Cup activity tile. In the loading (Info) screen, click the Join Ride button. To exit the activity in game, Press the ESC key.
The Kickstart Cup:
- is a Beginner map (no sharp corners),
- takes less than 15 minutes to finish, and
- if the Brakeline Arrows (arrows in the road) turn red, stop pedaling, so you don't crash
Also, check out our Welcome Tutorials in the Help menu on the top right for a little guidance. Sometimes, informational or interactive tutorials will automatically pop up on your screen when you first enter certain activities. Visit our variety of Maps (e.g., Beginners Medley), too, under Explore in the Hamburger Menu on the top left of most screens.
If you want to venture on your own, we have many different types of activities from which to choose. From the Home Screen, check out the types of activities under Play Now. Whether it's one of our On-Demand activities under Smash Cups, Rides, Time Trials, or Workouts, or one of the scheduled Events, there is a multitude of activities you can choose. Our maps include everything from true-to-life cycling simulations to a more gamified cycling experience of high-skills, high-thrills with power ups, obstacles, points to collect, and more.
Why not let Coach Cy, our virtual fitness coach, help you decide on a workout plan? From the Home Screen, click on the Coach Cy button and ask questions or provide any relevant information that will help our virtual coach in assisting you on your adventure. Coach Cy analyzes your performance and adapts to your life, to push you just right. Train smarter, not harder.
Finally, if you want to dig a little deeper, click on Explore in the hamburger menu in the upper left corner of most screens and peruse through the activity tiles and menus, and filter, sort, or mark favorites as you see fit. Hover over the activity types (Maps, Events, Replays, Rides, etc.) at the top for more comprehensive descriptions.
Have Fun!
