What is this?
Cycling Zone is a small, browser-based multiplayer cycling manager game. You sign up, get a team, bid on riders in live auctions, set tactics, and compete against other managers across a season calendar. The game is free, has been free since launch, and will always remain free.
I'm a solo founder building this in public. The game has been in open beta since 2026-05-08, with a small group of testers actively playing. I share the thinking and trade-offs as they happen, not after the fact.
If you want to play, just sign up at cyclingzone.org.
Tech stack
React + Vite (frontend), Node.js + Express (backend), Supabase (Postgres, Auth, RLS), Vercel + Railway (hosting).
Status
Live and being actively developed. Open beta, so breaking changes happen. Patch notes are visible inside the app on the Patch Notes page.
