What is RideTool?

RideTool tells you if you're getting fitter — in plain English, three times a week.

It's not a social network. It's not a training plan. It's not a dashboard full of numbers. You ride. We tell you what it means.

Is this for me?

  • You ride 2–5 times a week.
  • You own a Garmin, Wahoo, or Apple Watch.
  • You sync to Strava — or you don't. We work with Garmin directly too.
  • You don't want to learn what CTL stands for.
  • You just want to know: is showing up doing anything?

If that's you, yes.

How do I set it up?

  1. Connect Strava or Garmin — one click each.
  2. Add your bike. Optional, but recommended.
  3. That's it. Your first email arrives within 48 hours.

What will I see?

Three emails a week

Monday — your week ahead. Wednesday — a midweek check. Friday — the weekend preview. Each one tells you if you're fresh, steady, tired, or cooked. In English. See Three Emails a Week.

The Me Card

Your fitness, power-to-weight, recovery, and a 12-week chart of the work you've been putting in. In plain English, grounded in real training science. See The Me Card.

Ask Claude

If you use Claude — the AI — you can ask it about your rides. "Am I getting fitter?" "Should I ride today?" "How was my fitness last month?"It answers from your actual data. See Ask Claude.

Your ride history

Every ride — distance, time, elevation, power. Searchable. Shareable. See Your Ride History.

Does it work with my eMTB?

Yes. Your eMTB rides count toward your fitness — because they should. See eMTBs.

What does it cost?

$29 a year. No free tier bait-and-switch. No ads. Your data is yours.

What about my data?

  • We store your original FIT files untouched.
  • You can download everything anytime.
  • We never sell your data.
  • If you leave, your data goes with you.
