## What is Nivvy?

4 questions. A score from 0 to 100. A character type that reveals how you really train.

Nivvy isn't a training app. It's a game that makes you a better cyclist without realizing it - the same way Duolingo teaches languages as a side effect of streaks and leagues. 

TRAINING SCORE (0-100): Your score tracks four things: consistency, intensity balance, load management, and recovery. It updates after every ride. It works with power meters, heart rate, or just how the ride felt. No gadgets required.

6 RIDER CHARACTERS: Are you a Rocket who goes too hard? A Ghost who keeps missing sessions? A Metronome with perfect discipline? Your character evolves as your training habits change.

WEEKLY LEAGUES: 25 riders per division. Ranked by Training Score, not watts. A casual 3x/week rider competes head-to-head with a pro. Top 5 promote. Bottom 5 demote. Show up or drop.

PHOTO VERIFICATION: Ride a gym bike with no sensors? Photograph the screen. Nivvy reads your duration, power, heart rate, and cadence automatically. Verified rides earn more league points.

STRUCTURED PLANS: Choose a training plan or build one with the AI coach. Every session has targets - power zones, heart rate zones, or RPE. Guided intervals with live feedback. 

CHALLENGES & STREAKS: Weekly challenges matched to your character. XP for every workout. 200 levels. Streak multipliers. Comeback bonuses when life gets in the way.

AI COACH (PRO): Chat with a coach who knows your history, fatigue, and goals. Get post-workout analysis, weekly reports, and personalized advice.
WORKS WITH YOUR GEAR Bluetooth heart rate monitors, power meters, cadence sensors, smart trainers with ERG mode. Wahoo and Garmin sync. Or skip it all and train by feel.

Built for every cyclist who wants to train better, not just train more.
