Spokes Warrior^© by CycleFightClub^©

RIDEnjoy's inaugural CycleFightClub tournament, Spokes Warrior^©, an open try-out test-event where riders compete 1 v 1 (we call it a 'fight') on 11 and 12 Feb 2023 in a 'no-weight class' competition where the winner each day brings home $500 cash and an expenses-paid trip to L'etape Malaysia, was a hit with its 16 participants. The event was hosted by PedalFest Singapore at the Singapore National Stadium in the Singapore Sports Hub.

Eight of them competed in the 11 Feb 2023 edition while the other eight competed in the 12 Feb 2023 edition. The tournament format consisted of eight cyclists competing in four quarterfinal groups, with the best four advancing into the semis and the best two moving into the final.

For the quarterfinals and semis, the participants had to cycle 2km in a virtual world on stationary bikes mounted on Magene smart trainers linked to an app called Onelap. The final was 1km although the route was more challenging with an uphill path. The tournament bikes, Magene trainers and Onelap app were supplied by RIDEnjoy's partner, Ride In Syle while the audio-visual equipment was provided by AIBI MaxWell.

Gavin Leow was the champion for the 11 Feb 2023 edition, beating fellow finalist, Janette Ramat. Arfan Faisal was crowned the champion for the 12 Feb 2023 edition, beating the strongman of Singapore's cycling community, Desmond 'Hercules' Lee in a keenly contested final by coming from behind to overtake Lee with a lung bursting 'sprint' in the last 50 metres.
