What is RideTool?

RideTool simplifies the numbers. It turns your rides into a plain-English read on your fitness and how consistently you're riding, built on real training science.

No social feed, no training plan, no dashboard to decode. You ride, and it shows up.

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

More detail in Set It Up.

What will I see?

An email, as often as you want it

A short read on where your fitness stands, in your inbox at 7am your time. Daily, three times a week, or weekly. You pick. Each one tells you if you're fresh or tired and what to do about it today. In English. See Your Emails.

The Me Card

Your fitness, power-to-weight, recovery, and a 24-week consistency 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 electric bike?

Yes. Electric bike rides count toward your fitness, because they should. See Electric Bikes.
