Real-time coaching. Live ride tracking. Your whole cycling community — connected.
GearSense turns your local bike shop into a living, breathing training hub. Your sensors talk to your phone. Your phone talks to your coach. Your family watches you conquer that hill — live, from the shop.
GearSense brings together your sensors, your shop, and your community in one seamless experience.
No manual check-in. No fumbling with apps. Ride up to the shop and GearSense knows you're there. Scan a QR code, join your group, and you're ready to roll — phone back in your pocket.
While you ride, GearSense listens to your sensors and talks back. "Shift down — 6% climb in 200 meters." "Your power is 20% higher than last week here." Like having a pro coach who never shuts up (in a good way).
Every ride starts and ends at your local shop. Your data stays local. Your community stays connected. No big tech company in between — just you, your shop, and your fellow riders.
We're launching with two of the world's most passionate cycling communities.
your local area
Reston, VA
Washington DC Metro Area — Spring/Summer 2026
GearSense is built for the whole cycling community — not just the serious racers.
Your iPhone becomes your personal coach and HUD. Real-time speed, cadence, power zones, and turn-by-turn audio guidance — all while your phone stays safely in your pocket.
You're in charge of keeping the group together and safe. Watch everyone's progress on one screen. Know who's struggling before they do. Bring everyone home strong.
Plan rides, manage groups (A/B/C pace groups), track who's coming, handle waivers digitally, and build the kind of community that keeps riders coming back every week.
Your shop becomes the heart of local cycling. Riders check in, families watch live, and you build relationships that go way beyond a single sale. Your shop is where rides begin.
From parking lot to post-ride coffee — here's what a GearSense ride actually feels like.
You arrive at the shop. GearSense sees you. Check-in is instant — no app hunting required.
One tap. You're in the B group with 8 other riders. Everyone's connected.
Today's 35-mile loop is ready on your phone — with hills, stops, and coffee spots already marked.
"Shift down — climb ahead." "Ghost rider is 12 seconds ahead of you." Your coach is always on.
Your spouse is in the shop sipping coffee, watching you climb that hill on the big screen. They finally get why you love this.
Every number, every metric, every PR — saved automatically. Strava synced. Your ride history grows.
These are real problems GearSense was built to solve.
You're visiting family in Colorado. You join a local shop ride. Your performance history, your coaching preferences, your pace group — none of it travels with you. The ride happens. The data goes to Strava. But the coaching, the community connection, and the shop relationship? Left behind at home.
Epic gravel ride. No cell signal for 40 miles. Your app drops out. That personal best on the climb? Never recorded. You have to trust your memory.
20 riders. Everyone guessing their effort. Am I pushing too hard for this climb? Should I drop back? How does this compare to last week?
Strava is great for sharing results after the ride. But during the ride? You're completely on your own.
Strava = Share. Celebrate. Connect with friends.
GearSense = Coach. Analyze. Improve. (And we sync with Strava too!)
You have their name from the receipt. You have the last four digits of their card. But do you know they haven't ridden in 3 weeks? Do you know their chain is at 1,800 miles? Do you know they just hit a personal best — and nobody at the shop celebrated with them?
Was that chain replaced 500 miles ago or 3,000? Riders guess. You guess. The bike breaks at mile 47 of a century — the worst possible moment.
You post the ride on Facebook. Send the emails. Saturday morning: 3 people show up. Hours of organizing, wasted.
Spouse drops off the rider. Waits in the car for 2 hours. Bored and frustrated. "This shop ride thing again..."

We're cyclists who love aviation. So we named everything like a flight crew. Here's the decoder ring.
Where planes — and bikes — are prepared, maintained, and launched. Your shop is mission control.
Like a fighter pilot's heads-up display — your speed, power, cadence, and coaching, all in one glance.
The live mission display. Families watch. Friends cheer. Your whole ride, broadcast in real time.
Directeur Sportif — French for "sports director." The Tour de France term for the person watching over the whole team.
A live "ghost" of your best previous effort on this same route. Can you beat yourself today?
Like a submarine running silent — no signal needed. Your sensors and phone work together completely offline.
"The Aviation Authority for Local Cycling" — because every great ride deserves a control tower. 🗼
We built GearSense on one principle: you own your information. Full stop.
Every feature is opt-in. Don't want to share your mileage? Don't. Want your training rides private? They stay private. Always.
Service reminders only work if YOU turn them on. Your performance data? Yours alone unless you choose to share it.
Your ride history isn't a product. We don't sell it, we don't share it with advertisers. It's yours — stored locally on your own devices.
One tap. All your data gone. No questions, no waiting period, no dark patterns. You can walk away completely, anytime.
No complicated setup. No IT headaches. We bring everything — you just keep doing what you love.
Riders check in because they want to be part of something. You know their names. They know you. That's not just good business — that's community.
When riders share their mileage data, you can be proactive. "Looks like you're due for a tune-up" is a lot more helpful than "Is your bike okay?"
Digital RSVPs. Automatic A/B/C group formation. No more chaos. No more confusion. Just 20 riders, organized, and ready to go.
Live ride display (with rider permission) keeps families in your shop. Coffee. Browsing. Community. More revenue. Everyone wins.
Your shop isn't just where they buy. It's where every ride begins. That's not a transaction — that's a relationship.
We install everything. We maintain everything. You get live ride events on your shop screen, real-time rider insights, and a cycling community that grows on its own.
Pilot Partners: your local bike shop and your local cycling club receive complimentary access during our Spring/Summer 2026 pilot phase.
Nope. Shops only see what you specifically choose to share. Your private training rides stay private. Period.
Turn them off. Every feature is optional. GearSense only does what you tell it to do.
You do. Always. We don't sell data, we don't share it with advertisers, and we don't hold it hostage. It's yours — stored on your own devices.
Yes! Solo mode works perfectly without any shop connection or check-in. Shop integration is for group rides — solo training is always available.
Only riders who join group rides with live display turned on. Your solo training? Never shown without your permission. Full control, always.
Anytime. One tap. Everything gone. No waiting period, no dark patterns, no questions asked.
Yes to both! We sync automatically with Strava after every ride — Strava is where you share and celebrate, GearSense is where you train and improve. We also integrate with RideWithGPS for route import and pace group planning. More integrations are on the way.
Vietnamese is coming very soon — GearSense is built for everyone and our community speaks many languages. Spanish and French are also on the roadmap.
GearSense started on the open road — not in a boardroom. A cyclist frustrated by fragmented ride data, inconsistent group communications, and losing his performance history every time he rode somewhere new. That frustration became a platform. That platform is GearSense.
Want to be part of the pilot? We'd love to hear from you.
