What can a small, densely packed island nation teach the rest of the world about the future of virtual cycling?
In Episode 91 of the Virtual Velo Podcast, Chris Schwenker and Emma Martin speak with Yi Jun, founder of Virtual Cycling Singapore (VSG), about building a structured, community-driven virtual cycling program in one of the most space-constrained places on earth. With limited room to ride, a modest road racing tradition, and unique barriers to athlete development, Singapore presents a challenge that may also be an opportunity.
Yi explains the why and how of VSG, who it serves, and what it takes to run a program built around training, racing, and community. The conversation explores the realities of cycling in Singapore, the prospects for ambitious young riders, the role virtual cycling can play in talent development, and whether VSG could become a model for similar programs in other cities and countries.
This is a conversation about more than one program. It is about what becomes possible when limitations force innovation.
