An invitation. Your handlebars. Good company.
Your first ride
Explore the shared 3D world in your own riding view, or watch your host. Here’s how to get settled.
Open your host’s invitation
Wait for ROOM CONNECTED. That confirms you joined the room; video and sound may still be getting ready. Keep the invitation private.
Set up talking and listening separately
Let friends hear you
Open Setup → Enable microphone. Allow your browser to use your microphone if you want to speak.
Choose Mute microphone to mute your voice, then Unmute microphone to speak again.
Hear the ride
In Setup, choose Ride audio off to turn listening on. The button changes to Ride audio on.
This plays incoming audio on your device. It does not enable your microphone.
Use headphones. If offered, choose Retry playback for blocked listening or Reconnect microphone for a disconnected input. Read the status beneath the controls.
3 Choose your view
Observer view shows your host’s composed video. The button then says Rider POV; choose it to return to your own 3D view.
Changing the view does not change your riding mode. If no usable world is shared, Watch host lets you check the host’s stream.
4 Choose how to ride
Use MANUAL RIDE to steer freely in the available world. Choose AUTO RIDE / FOLLOW when you want automatic riding.
In a shared 3D ride, choose Formation to join a Line, Paceline or V. On a phone, find it in Setup → Riding options. Steer, pedal or brake to ride freely; Auto ride rejoins your remembered shape.
Look for Manual acknowledged or Follow acknowledged. “Requested” or “pending” is still waiting. An acknowledgement alone does not mean the world, movement or media is ready.
Your controls
On screen, use the steering control, hold PEDAL, or hold BRAKE. Close Setup and leave text fields before using riding keys. If a button or expandable heading has focus, use W to pedal; Space activates it. My kit opens your name and clothing controls.
On a bicycle, keep holding PEDAL (or W), then tap Nitro for a two-second boost. The button shows its active burst and ten-second recharge; it stays unavailable while coasting, braking, reconnecting or using Auto ride.
Choose kilometres or miles in Setup → Speed and trip units. Your speedometer, trip distance and 3D bike computer use the selected units. The figures still describe simulated movement.
If the room disconnects
Controls pause while it reconnects. Use Retry room if offered. Return to preview leaves that room’s recovery; open a fresh invitation to join again.
Ready to leave?
Open Setup → Leave ride. This disconnects you and turns off your microphone. Follow any notice about saved room state.
