Indoor cycling brand Flywheel Sports will be launching its first iOS app later this month; the app is targeted towards cyclists actively involved with Flywheel Sports' 25 indoor cycling studios across the U.S.A. and abroad.
The Flywheel indoor cycling app will allow users to purchase credits, manage class bookings and reservations and check performance data from their iPhone. New graphics display trends in cyclists' performances over time.
The 'Class Rank' feature lets users compare their performance to other riders in their class using measurements such as speed, distance, calories burned, resistance and RPMs (revolutions per minute.)
It also has a social sharing function that enables users to invite social media contacts to classes and share reservations with others.
