If you trained with Spoked, you've probably had the email — and the goodbye gift: three months free on an indoor-trainer app called icTrainer. That's a genuinely fine thing if you ride the turbo. It controls your trainer, plays music to your cadence, even streams movies while you pedal. What it isn't is a coach.
If you used Spoked to actually get faster — to have a plan that bent around a real week and told you what to do next — that's the gap Streeka fills. It's an AI coach you chat with: it reads what you rode, reworks your week when life gets in the way, and explains every change in plain language.
The short version
icTrainer is a workout environment — a screen you operate to ride indoors. Streeka is a coach you talk to. You don't drive it. You ask it: "work blew up, should I still do Saturday?" and it gives you a straight, reasoned answer grounded in what you actually rode.
One runs your turbo. The other coaches the rider.

Why riders are switching to Streeka
1. It's a coach, not a dashboard.
You don't operate Streeka, you talk it through. "I missed Tuesday and my legs are cooked — what now?" gets an answer in plain language, not a wall of numbers to decode on your own. (Text chat — you type, no voice required.)
2. It explains every decision.
When the plan shifts, Streeka tells you what it saw, what it's protecting, and what it traded off. No black box, no blind trust — the thing most people actually want from an AI coach and rarely get.
3. It reads what you actually rode.
Connect Garmin or Wahoo once and Streeka picks up your rides. It coaches off what really happened this week, not what a plan assumed would happen. Real data in, a coach's reasoning out.
4. It bends around a real week.
Work blows up, kids get sick, you travel. Streeka reworks the week around it instead of leaving you to guess. Training that survives the week you actually get.
Switching is easy
Your history isn't trapped in Spoked. Your rides live in Garmin or Wahoo — connect one and Streeka reads them. Nothing to export, nothing to lose.
- Download Streeka — iOS or Android.
- Pick a goal and connect Garmin or Wahoo.
- Start riding. Two weeks free, cancel anytime.
Sam built Streeka because he couldn't find an app that coached around a genuinely messy week — so he built one, and he's still the first user.
Common questions
What's the best alternative to Spoked now it's shutting down?
Spoked shuts down on 1 July 2026 and is pointing users to icTrainer, an indoor-trainer app rather than a coach. If you want a coaching replacement, Streeka is an AI cycling coach you chat with — it reads your Garmin or Wahoo rides, reworks your week when life gets in the way, and explains every change in plain language. It has a 2-week free trial.
Will I lose my training history when Spoked closes?
No. Your rides live in Garmin or Wahoo, not Spoked. Connect your account and Streeka reads what you have actually ridden — there is nothing to export out of Spoked.
Is icTrainer a good replacement for Spoked?
icTrainer is an indoor smart-trainer control app — good for riding the turbo, but it is not a coach. If you used Spoked for structured training that adapted to your week, Streeka is the closer fit: a coach you chat with that explains its decisions.
Do I have to ride indoors with Streeka?
No. icTrainer is built for the turbo. Streeka coaches the riding you actually do, indoors or outside.
How much does Streeka cost?
Free for two weeks, then $14/month in the US and $29/month in Australia. iOS and Android.
When do I need to switch?
Spoked closes on 1 July 2026. You can move to Streeka today and keep training without a gap.
