Plan your Street View ride
Ride any covered Street View road. VirtualRide uses real places, while Zwift uses a virtual world. Street View is panoramic imagery rather than continuous filmed video. The optional 3D view (beta) shows the same route in Google’s photorealistic 3D map instead.

FAQ
Can I cycle anywhere in the world?
Yes. Pick any road Google Street View covers — your street, Tokyo, Mallorca, Alpe d’Huez, or a climb nobody put on a list. Type two places or tap start and finish on the map. Coverage follows Google: some remote roads have no Street View.
What is VirtualRide?
VirtualRide is indoor cycling on real streets. You ride a smart trainer at home. Google Street View rolls forward at your speed, on any covered road in the world.
Does VirtualRide work with a Wahoo KICKR?
Yes. Connect a Wahoo KICKR or another Bluetooth trainer that speaks FTMS or cycling power. Pedal harder and Street View moves faster. Supported trainers — among others.
What device do I need?
Use a device and supported web browser with Bluetooth access. Trainer support depends on device, browser, trainer model, and firmware.
Does it work on a phone?
Web access works on supported browsers. On iPhone and iPad, use the VirtualRide app.
How much does it cost?
Web subscriptions include a 7-day free trial, then cost USD $9 per month, billed by Stripe. Cancel anytime from Billing. iPhone: $9.99 per month in the App Store, or Apple’s local price. No extra fee per climb or route.
Do I need a smart trainer?
For a real ride, yes: Wahoo KICKR or any Bluetooth smart trainer. No trainer yet? Use Demo without trainer to look at the roads first.
What is the 3D view (beta)?
An optional way to ride in the browser: the same route through Google’s photorealistic 3D map instead of Street View photos. The camera rides at road level; drag to look around, and Reset view brings it back. Street View stays the default. If your device cannot run 3D smoothly, the ride continues in Street View. 3D detail varies by place.
Is it only famous climbs?
No. Classics are quick starts. The product is any Street View road you choose.
