    I'm dumping my old spinbike and have bought a virtual trainer which I'll use with my road bike.

    Determined that when the spring comes round I'll be in better cycling shape for my 2 hour commute home - long distance walking and a wee bit mtb has been helping as well.

    I don't like the look of Zwift, too gamey and I don't like people. I've been looking at Rouvy, what other options do folks reccomend?

    I'd envisage 1-2 hour sessions probably once /twice a week in conjunction with the other stuff mentioned above.

    I'd also appreciate monthly, rather than annual costing as plan on dumping subscription over summer months.

    What do you mean "don't like people"? Rouvy has people, though not as many as Zwift. I've just been trying Rouvy, as it happens, and I get three friendly virtual people cycling along with me / dropping me on the hills. I can turn them off, though, if I want...

    FullGas (or is it FullGaz?) is like Rouvy but without the people. (IIRC)

    A lot of these things let you try the app for a few days (7 for Rouvy) before you get charged.

    I think Rouvy has a ride on your own mode.

    Mind you, even if I started in a group, I'd be on my own in 5 minutes anyway as they all rode off. :D
