About

Pedal Mania is a cycling game for your smart trainer drawn in pixel art, for macOS, Windows and Linux, with an iPhone and iPad version in beta on TestFlight. Your watts move the rider and the road's gradient sets the trainer's resistance. It has 36 race routes after the year's classics and grand tours, 33 famous roads around the world, 7 more on Mars, the Moon and Venus, 12 World Championships circuits from 2015 to 2026, 8 city-centre crits, cyclocross courses and 17 short circuits with cups on its own island, Pedalonia. On the track there are 12 events in 9 real velodromes, ridden against the clock or against robots that draft, attack and sprint. You can ride with ghosts and robot riders, join group rides and races, the Daily and the Weekend Classic, leagues run as a stage race with a GC, Track Cups with a medal table, clubs and a ranking. Structured workouts are held in ERG mode on any course, with Coach Lou on a scooter just ahead, and you can add your own. It connects over Bluetooth to FTMS trainers, Wahoo and Tacx trainers through their own protocols, and power meters, cadence sensors and heart-rate straps; Wahoo trainers with Direct Connect also join over Wi-Fi. A simulated trainer lets you ride without one. Rides go to Strava as virtual rides, and an MCP connector lets Claude, ChatGPT and other AI apps read your rides and manage leagues, cups and clubs. Made by one developer in Melbourne, Australia.
