INTVL is a fitness app that turns outdoor movement into a map-based territory game. And a few weeks ago, they launched their bike mode. This brings cyclists into a game previously only available to runners. To mark the launch, the company kicked off a global competition where cyclists competed to claim the most territory in their local area.How It WorksThe way INTVL works is pretty straightforward: every loop you complete, whether running, walking, or now cycling, claims a section of territory on the apps map. That territory can then be taken by other players who ride or run loops around it. This creates an ongoing back-and-forth that keeps things interesting indefinitely. And because maps can be carved up in countless ways, theres no natural end to the game.One of the more appealing aspects of INTVL is that speed doesnt matter it isnt a race. Claiming territory is about completing a loop, not finishing first. That means the game is accessible to cyclists of all fitness levels. The app also includes clubs, leaderboards, and city-versus-city competitions to add a social layer to the experience.We built INTVL because tracking getting in a workout shouldnt feel like a chore. It should feel like a game you cant wait to play. Bringing that to cyclists is something weve been dreaming about, and I cant wait to see all the rides people do to grab territory.-Louis Phillips, Co-Founder, INTVL.Before Bike ModeBefore bike mode arrived, INTVL had already attracted over 2 million runners in the past six months, with hundreds of thousands of active users regularly claiming territory. The addition of cycling opens the app to a broader audience, giving riders a reason to look at their regular routes a little differently. Maybe look at them less as a workout and more as a strategy game played out in the real world. If the other fitness and training apps dont appeal to you, this is an interesting alternative.
