## What is Velo Buddy?

Catch bike wear before it breaks. Train smarter without a coach. Dial in your bike fit without a studio.

Velo Buddy is the complete cycling companion — AI bicycle maintenance, structured training plans, and video-based bike fit in one app. Works with Strava and Ride with GPS so tracking is automatic.

Half the price of Strava. Free to start.

WHAT IT DOES
Velo Buddy tracks every component on every bike and predicts when each one needs service, using weather, terrain, and how you actually ride — not generic calendar intervals. It also generates structured training plans from a single conversation, and analyses your bike fit from a phone video. Three jobs Strava doesn't do, in one app, for half the price.

AUTOMATIC STRAVA + RIDE WITH GPS SYNC
Connect once and skip manual ride entry. Every ride updates your component wear forecasts and maintenance reminders. Compatible with Garmin, Wahoo, and Hammerhead head units — workouts flow back out the same way they came in.

SMART MAINTENANCE REMINDERS THAT ADAPT
Most maintenance schedules ignore how you actually ride. Velo Buddy doesn't.
• Factors weather from every ride (rain, heat, humidity)
• Adapts to surface and intensity (road, gravel, MTB, commute)
• Watches drivetrain and chain wear from real mileage, not calendar dates
• Learns from your component replacement history as you log services
• The more you ride, the sharper the recommendations

AI TRAINING COACH
A structured weekly plan built by AI and tailored to your FTP, goals, and weekly availability. Plans adapt week-to-week: skip a session and the next week eases off; exceed targets and it steps up. Export workouts as .FIT for Garmin or .ZWO for Zwift — or push directly to Wahoo, Hammerhead, TrainingPeaks, COROS, and TrainerRoad.

AI BIKE FIT
Film your riding position on a phone. Velo Buddy analyses your position with AI across side, front, and rear angles, scores your fit, and recommends specific adjustments down to the millimetre — no studio visit, no $300 fee.

VELO BUDDY AI
Long-press any tab to chat with Velo Buddy AI. Ask about your bikes, chain wear, tire pressure, or training — it answers from your data, not generic web advice. Five free messages; unlimited with Premium.
