It\u2019s time to explore Los Santos from the saddles of our indoor trainers.<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>In the last few months, most of us were forced to spend more time indoors than we would have liked. And we thought we explored all the possibilities of virtual cycling. However, there is one more now. The \u2018Grand Theft Bike V mod\u2019 lets you pair your smart turbo trainer with the open-world game and ride around Los Santos, a fictional version of Los Angeles. Mods usually only appeal to gamers, but this one was clearly made by one of us.<\/p>\n<lite-youtube videoid=bDpWEeetUMM params=\"enablejsapi=1\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/bDpWEeetUMM\/maxresdefault.webp');\"><\/lite-youtube>\n<p>Link the ANT+ wireless system from a compatible turbo trainer to your PC and the game will then read your speed and power and apply it to the in-game changes in terrain, road surface and the wind. You can either steer yourself using a keyboard or choose a route option and ride on autopilot. There is a HUD that shows your speed, power and the distance that you\u2019ve covered. It all seems rather intriguing, right?<\/p>\n<p>If you want full instructions, go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gta5-mods.com\/scripts\/gt-bike-v\">GTA V mods website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, for all Strava addicts out there, the mod also creates a .FIT file.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Move aside, Watopia.
