There’s always one acquisition each year that comes out of left field, and this year’s award is online training log platform TrainingPeaks announcing the acquisition of IndieVelo, which is an indoor cycling app akin to Zwift or Rouvy. Indievelo is a bit over a year old now, and has slowly grown from being a technology demonstrator app (focused on race integrity) to a very legit online cycling platform used by thousands of people each day. Indievelo also has had two tiers, free and paid – with the free tier offering essentially all the same functionality.
What’s been most impressive about IndieVelo is the rapid pace of development, with each Monday morning bringing a new version of the app and a slate of features. Just look at this list of each week’s additions (no for real, go look at it). And the kicker? The development of the entire app has been just a single person: George Gilbert.
Just 9 days ago, IndieVelo noted in an e-mail that they had signed up their 40,000th person. Of course, that doesn’t mean there are 40,000 active users on the platform, but simply 40,000 accounts. Still, that’s impressive. First, though, let’s quickly recap what IndieVelo is.
