We simplify the numbers
The RideTool Fitness Engine uses the same training-load model coaches have relied on for decades, the one Coggan and Banister worked out. Your Me page puts the number in context: your fitness now, which way it's heading, when you'll be fresh again, and your power-to-weight. All of it without the homework.
Heart rate or power, it still counts
The hard part is making every ride comparable. A power meter, a heart rate strap, an e-bike, a rocky trail where the watts lie. RideTool reads what each ride actually was and scores the real work in one common currency, so your number tracks the effort you put in, whatever you rode.
One spiky ride won't throw it off
It reads your threshold from several angles and cross-checks them, so one spiky mountain ride can't throw the whole number off. The math stays under the hood. You see fitness, freshness, and effort, in plain words.
Weeks to build, days to lose. You'll get addicted, and you'll just keep riding.
The full RideTool, inside Claude
RideTool comes in more than one interface. Use the web app, or use the full Claude interface: connect once and your riding lives right inside Claude. Everything the app does, in the assistant you already use.
The whole tool
It's RideTool itself: read your Me page, pull up a ride, check when you'll be fresh, log your weight, all in plain language. It shows your data. What you do with it is yours.
Pick your interface
Prefer the web UI? It's all there. Prefer to just ask Claude? That works too. Same RideTool, same number, whichever you open. iOS coming later.
One RideTool, your choice of interface. Your data is a question away, with no exports and no lock-in.
Watch the calendar fill in
Every ride becomes a dot on your calendar and a step in your streak. Watch weeks fill in, spot the gaps, and see the pattern build month over month.
Streak and dots
Consecutive weeks with a ride, and a simple weekly pattern you can read at a glance. Surprisingly hard to let go of once you've built one.
Month, week, day
Monthly calendar, weekly view, and a day-by-day breakdown, with distance, time, and effort summarized where you need it.
Consistency is what builds the number. This is your riding life made visible.
See where you rode, and how hard
Full route map, elevation profile, and every metric your device captured, presented clearly. Plus how hard the ride was, in a plain intensity band and percentage.
The whole ride
See the actual route on a detailed map, with power, heart rate, speed, cadence, elevation, and calories. Feels-like temperature and dew point too, so you remember what the day was really like.
How hard it was
Every ride gets an effort and an intensity read, so a long cruise and a short thrash never get confused. Set what each bike measures effort from, so e-bikes and trail rigs score honestly.
Your rides deserve better than a row in a table. RideTool shows each one as the ride it was.
Your data. Actually yours.
Your original FIT files stay untouched and downloadable, forever. RideTool automatically keeps the highest resolution data available.
Auto-detect and upgrade
Connect multiple sources and RideTool handles the rest. When the same ride arrives from different places, it keeps the version with full device data.
Source transparency
Every ride shows where it came from, Garmin, Wahoo, or a third-party import, so you always know which rides carry the full-resolution original.
Your FIT files are yours to download, move, or analyze with any tool you choose.
You ride. It shows up.
Connect Strava, Garmin, or Wahoo once, and every ride flows in on its own. No exports, no uploads, no fiddling. Record a ride, and it's waiting for you when you open RideTool.
Set it up once
Link Strava, Garmin, or Wahoo in a click. That's the whole setup. From then on, new rides land on their own and your history imports in minutes.
Or bring your own files
Prefer to do it by hand? Drop in raw .fit files from any device, or bulk import your Strava archive. Same result, it just shows up.
No work. You ride, it's there. That's the whole deal.
How it works
Connect your account
Link Wahoo, Garmin, or Strava with one click.
Your rides sync
New rides arrive automatically. Upload FIT files anytime. Your full history imports in minutes.
Your number builds
The engine turns every ride into a number you can read. Your Me page puts it in context.
Keep riding
Ride and it grows. Skip and it fades. Show up, and the rest takes care of itself.

Built by a rider, for riders
I'm Kenny. Rider, coder, data nerd. Co-founded Eventador.io (acquired by Cloudera) and ObjectRocket (acquired by Rackspace). Been riding since my twenties. Never the fastest. Always out there.
I built RideTool because I wanted a simple answer to a simple question: am I getting better, or letting it slip?
Not competition. Not a training plan. Just a number that climbs when you ride, and the pull to keep it climbing.
Just keep riding.

Frequently asked questions
Is it like a fitness score?
Close. It's your fitness as one number, and it climbs when you ride and slips when you don't. The difference from a Strava-style fitness score is that this one is yours and private. No leaderboard, no comparing to strangers.
Do I need a power meter?
No. The fitness engine works from heart rate just as well as power, so any ride counts, road or dirt, e-bike or not. If you have a power meter, it uses that too. Either way you get a number you can read.
What's the Claude interface?
A full interface to RideTool inside Claude. Connect once and you can use RideTool in plain language: read your Me page, pull up a ride, check your fitness, log your weight. Same tool as the web app, in the assistant you already use. It reflects your data, it doesn't coach you.
What devices and apps are supported?
RideTool syncs automatically with Wahoo, Garmin, and Strava. You can also upload FIT files directly from any device. Apple Watch rides sync through Strava.
Does RideTool replace Strava?
No, and it isn't trying to. They do different things, and plenty of riders run both. Keep Strava for the social side and the segments. RideTool is your private read on your own fitness, no feed, no leaderboard, just your number and whether it's climbing.
Can I use RideTool with Strava?
Yes, and most riders do. Connect your Strava account and your rides sync automatically. You can also connect Wahoo and Garmin directly for higher-resolution data. RideTool handles deduplication when the same ride arrives from multiple sources.
What does it cost?
$29 per year. No tiers, no add-ons. Every feature included for every rider. 14-day free trial, no credit card required.
