ryde – brand & app concept

work in progress

The situation.
Many people enjoy cycling but often lack training partners or consistent motivation. While existing fitness apps focus on tracking performance, they rarely facilitate real-life connections or group activities.

The idea.
Transform solo cycling into a shared experience by connecting riders and fostering a sense of community around movement and exploration.

The execution.
Ryde is a map-based platform designed to connect cyclists of all levels. It enables users to discover, join, or organize local rides and events, turning workouts into social experiences.

Core features include:

• Community creation: Build or join groups based on skill level, location, or cycling style.

• Event discovery: Explore nearby rides or create your own group sessions in real time.

• Shared progress: Track performance, set group goals, and celebrate achievements together.

• Social interaction: Chat, share routes, and post photos to strengthen community bonds.
