When the weather turns hostile, cyclists retreat indoors, but who says indoor training has to be dull? Rouvy, a visionary cycling platform, is revolutionizing the way we ride inside. In this sponsored podcast, Velo Podcast host Levy interviews Rouvy's Product Director, Marek-Martin Matyska, to uncover the secrets behind their immersive cycling experience.
A Global Cycling Adventure:
Rouvy, born in the Czech Republic, has crafted a virtual cycling paradise with routes spanning six continents.

And yes, even Namibia's coastal roads are within reach, thanks to Rouvy's innovative technology.
The Art of Realism:
Matyska reveals the platform's obsession with authenticity. With thousands of routes, Rouvy ensures cyclists can explore diverse terrains.
