so i just stumbled upon this crazy app called deck de france that lets you use your bike trainer as a controller for your steam deck - yes, you read that right. it's basically a free software that can turn your bike into a gaming accessory, which sounds kinda awesome to me. i mean, who wouldn't want to combine their love of cycling and gaming into one weird and wonderful experience?



apparently, it works with any smart trainer that uses bluetooth low energy, so you'll need to check if your bike trainer is compatible before getting started. but if it is, you can use your pedaling power to control certain actions in games. for example, in rocket league, pedaling activates your boost, which could be a total game-changer. it's not just limited to rocket league though - it also works with other games like forza horizon and grand theft auto, where your pedal power translates to acceleration or throttle control.



now, i know what you're thinking - this all sounds a bit gimmicky, and it probably is. but hey, if you're an avid cycler or just looking for a new way to spice up your gaming sessions, this could be a fun way to add some exercise into the mix. and the best part is, it's super easy to set up - the creator says you can get it working in just five minutes, which is pretty impressive. you will need a separate bluetooth controller to handle other in-game actions, but that's a small price to pay for the novelty of using your bike as a controller.



i'm not sure how well this will catch on, but i love the creativity behind deck de france. it's definitely a unique way to experience gaming, and it could be a great way to get some exercise while having fun. preordersRead more: Full article on www.pcgamer.com
