Be the first to know when PedalBack launches
Indoor Cycling is Boring
Generic scenic videos of random locations lack emotional connection. People don't just want to exercise—they want experiences that mean something to them personally.
The PedalBack Solution
Upload any GPX route from your past—your childhood neighborhood, last year's cycling holiday, the commute to your first job, roads you can no longer physically access—and ride them again.
See your route on detailed maps with real elevation profiles, and feel the authentic gradients through your smart trainer as you revisit the places that matter to you.
Not Just Exercise
- ✓ Your Routes - Personal places that matter to you
- ✓ Your Memories - Emotional connection to every ride
- ✓ Real Physics - Authentic gradients & elevation

Who PedalBack Is For
Every cyclist with a story to ride
🏡 The Nostalgic Cyclist
Moved away from hometown, wants to revisit familiar roads. Values emotional connection over gamification. Cycling 10+ miles daily because riding through old neighborhoods isn't just exercise—it's coming home.
💝 The Memory Keeper
Recreating memorable vacation routes and reliving epic rides from the past. Preserving journey stories through physical activity and keeping memories alive with every pedal stroke.
✈️ The Distance-Separated
Immigrants cycling through hometown neighborhoods. Military and expats revisiting home routes from thousands of miles away. Maintaining connection to beloved locations despite being separated by geography.
🦽 The Mobility-Limited
Cyclists who can no longer access favorite routes due to injury, age, or disability. Virtually revisiting places they can't physically reach—riding favorite mountain routes again safely, indoors, with all the real gradients.
🌍 The Explorer
Adventure seekers discovering new places from home. Planning future trips by riding routes before traveling, or experiencing iconic roads from around the world. Turning indoor training into virtual tourism with real terrain and authentic geography.
