THE JOURNEY SO FAR

The reason why we are building RGT is because of the potential that the digital world can bring. RGT set out to deliver something that is both really usefull to the user and as revolutionary as we can make it. A virtual space can generate very interesting, different but complementary things than what we can do in real life.

 

Training can be made fun and that is where the powerful potential of the virtual world is. That is why we took a big leap when deciding to split the app in two, enabling mobility by taking you away from your computer and closer to your phone. Connect anywhere, to any device.

We are and we always will be a work in progress we are going to work on the product and make it fit to our users. We are everybody’s virtual space, we want to be the place where everybody finds something that they want to do

 

 We want to democratize the cycling virtual environment and empower the user to do with it what they want. We believe in the app store approach: a space where everybody can offer their services. If there is demand, then supply will happen. It’s about having the flexibility to explore new ideas.

ABOUT JAMES

I have been riding bikes since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. Through the years I have raced both road and MTB and I am still racing Cyclocross and stealing the odd podium in my local league.

Crazy about tech and gaming I have a strong belief in the RGT vision of accessibility and democracy. I am excited to explore ways in which the platform will enable a new generation of cyclists to enjoy the sport.

When I’m riding my bike I feel at home. Even if it’s hard, even if I’m slow, even if I’m dropped and especially when I’m fast, in the zone and taking a podium. Cycling helps me connect and work with my body. That is why I want to see RGT grow. As for my job, I do the things that other people don’t want to do 🙂
