Stationary Ride Support

  • Updated

Premium members who ride indoors on a trainer, rollers or a stationary bike, can have their stationary rides count toward Ride with GPS career totals and Goals.

If you have a smart indoor trainer, you can also ride your favorite Ride with GPS routes indoors. Learn more about how you can ride routes indoors using a Wahoo or Garmin device.

Save a Stationary Ride

Use your Ride with GPS app, Garmin, or Wahoo unit to record your indoor ride and then be able to review your distance, speed, heart rate, cadence and/or power data.

Note: In order to accurately record an indoor ride, you must pair a speed sensor or utilize a smart trainer to measure the distance ridden.

Rides can be categorized as "stationary" on our website. To save as a stationary ride:
  • View the ride, then click the Edit link in the left side panel. This will open the ride details page.
  • Select More Options
  • Click the checkbox for "Stationary Ride?".
  • Then click the Save button when you are finished.
  • Now the ride will count towards your totals, and will display your indoor metrics. Hover your mouse pointer over any of the graphs to view more data.

 

Record in App

  • In order to record an indoor ride with the mobile app, you will need to set up a Bluetooth enabled Speed/Cadence sensor or Smart Trainer.
  • Turn off Auto-Pause in your app (under MoreSettingsLogging).
  • At the end of your ride, tap and hold the pause button to save. 
    • You may find it helpful to identify this as an "Indoor Ride" in the title to quickly identify indoor vs. outdoor rides.
    • Then select your stationary trainer or other preferred bike from your gear list. See below for how to add your trainer as a piece of Gear.
    • Tap SAVE to finish.

Track Stationary Rides with Gear

You can set up a trainer, rollers or stationary bike as a new piece of gear. Assign your stationary rides to this to track these rides in the Ride Center and see your history of indoor rides.
