Spokes

Swap spokes onto the track to build and break cycling routes.

A cycling race in which you physically swap spokes out of your own wheel onto the track, building the roads you ride and quietly dismantling the ones your rivals were counting on.

Who it's for

Cycling fans and route-building players who like short turns with a mean edge and a clear finish line.

Not for you if…

Having your planned route dismantled by another player frustrates you, or you want a race with no take-that at all.

Vibe's take

Brisk and needling – the best move is often the one that quietly removes someone else's road.
