The Ride Builder now suggests techniques for your own rides

Until now, there were two ways to prepare a class with RideComposer.

The first, Quick Ride, does everything: it picks the tracks and places the techniques. The second, the Ride Builder, lets you choose your tracks one by one — but the techniques were then yours to place, one at a time, in the Track Editor.

Many instructors care deeply about their music. They don't want software choosing it for them. They just wanted help with what comes next.

Now they have it.

One button, for the whole ride

In the Ride Builder, next to Class type, there is a new button: 🧠 Propose techniques.

One click, and RideComposer listens to every track in your ride to place techniques on it — following the teaching method you chose (Spinning®, Globe Cycling®, Schwinn®, BICA or Free Ride) and, if you set one, the class type.

Your annotations stay yours

If a track already carries annotations, RideComposer doesn't decide for you. It asks, for that specific track:

Keep them, or replace them with the proposal?

You answer track by track. And if you close the window without answering, the software keeps what you had done.

Nothing is saved automatically. You review the suggestions in the Track Editor, move whatever doesn't suit you, and save when the ride feels right.

The same rules as Quick Ride

The button makes nothing up. It applies exactly the rules of Quick Ride, because it runs the same engine:

• cadence first: it decides whether you are on a flat or on a climb. The track's intensity only chooses the technique afterwards, within that terrain;
• the technique lands on the musical shift — the moment the drums come in, when the track takes off — not in the middle of a chorus;
• the class starts seated: a seated flat at the very start of the warm-up, because nobody stands up while the body is still cold;
• no standing position unless the music holds it: you don't make the room stand up only to sit it down again;
• two sprints at most, never in the first half of the class, and never back to back;
• during the stretch, only breathing and hydration.

And no track is left without a cue: when the music calls for nothing in particular, it gets a seated technique from its first beat, chosen from its cadence.

A suggestion, not an order

You know your room better than any software does. What RideComposer proposes is a solid starting point — built on the music and on the theory of your teaching method — that you fine-tune in a few minutes instead of placing everything by hand.

The feature is available on every plan, from version 2.0.7. If your RideComposer announces an update, you can download it from ridecomposer.com.
