Strava is gearing up to take your fitness goals up a notch with its recent acquisition of The Breakaway, an iOS biking app that’s all about those sweet AI-driven training plans.
You heard that right—AI is not just for predicting what kind of pizza you’ll order after a long day; it’s now planning your cycling routes!
With this move, Strava is doubling down on customization and meaningful training, promoting a future where your cycling buddies might just be virtual. Oh boy, what would your friends think if you axed them for an AI companion on your rides?
After a fancy funding round valued at $2.2 billion, Strava is throwing some serious cash at improving its offerings. Expect new AI route planning to help you avoid those terrifying hills (seriously, who enjoys an uphill struggle?) and enhanced cheat detection that will keep those sneaky cyclists honest. Because let’s face it, nobody likes a throttle-happy cheater in the mix!
As Strava builds on its training plans, we’re left wondering: did we just witness the birth of the cyborg rider? Well, only time will tell if those virtual buddies can truly keep up with the wind in our hair and that glorious post-ride protein shake.
So, what do you think? Are you ready to let an AI take the wheel… or should I say, the handlebars?
