The first real attempt to create gamified indoor cycling came from the game company Atari in 1982. However, the actual rise of gamified indoor cycling didn't occur until 30 years later, thanks to advances in cycling technology. Today, indoor cycling platforms have millions of users and serve as major sponsors for real-world professional cycling events and teams.
