RideTime

Mountain Bike social app




About RideTime


The app's whole idea is to make it easy to plan a ride with your friends, or find new people to ride with anywhere you go.


Using Trailforks it makes it easy to see riding locations and what's there to ride if you want to make your own plan, or see who's already planning to ride there and join them!



Nearby rides map

See who’s going out riding around you or when are your friends goind out for a rip!


Plan a ride at a nearby location

Plan a ride at any nearby location or town you can find on Trailforks or search anywhere in the world to plan a trip!


See what's out there to ride

Check out what’s each riding location has to offer. A list of Trailforks’ trails and routes can be selected at each location, or just skip the selection altogether to just go for a ride, or maybe invite some friends and make the plan together! This area is still very much in progress and a lot of improvements are there to be made, but it’s in progress!


Use the chat to plan a sick ride or a big all day trip to the mountains

Group instant messaging in each event to help you make the perfect plan


Invite friends to rides

You can create a private ride that only your friends can see, or even one that noone can see until you invite them! Just for the days you feel picky, maybe all the days?


Find and add friends

RideTime is meant to bring people together, invite your friends and give it a try! A social app should help people meet, rather than separate them by a screen, so why not meet and go for a ride!


How's it coming along?

What’s done:

Friendships

  • You can join using Google or Facebook (Pinkbike coming soon!)
  • Find your friends, add them to friend list and invite for rides!

Rides

  • Create a ride in a location near you (or anywhere in the world!)
  • Invite your friends
  • Set privacy
    • whether anyone can join or you have to approve new members
  • Set visibility
    • Whether anyone can see and search the ride, or the audience is limited
      • Private: Only users you invite can see
      • Friends: Only your friends can see
      • Friends of members: Friends of all members can see
  • Chat with other members to plan the ride out!

Notifications

  • Notifications about invites, friendships and new messages

ToDo:

Live location tracking on ride

Ever wondered where the shuttle is, or if Joey cased that jump way back up the hill? Or have you maybe lost your group in an unknown location? Invite your friends and use live tracking while out on the ride to keep track of where you are and where’s everyone else. You will also be able to enable live tracking shared with your friends anytime.

Design

I’m no designer by any means but I know there’s a long way to go before I make this whole thing pretty. However, the priority is now an app that works and for that I need your input!

Make going for a ride a lot easier

The app assumes you always know where you would like to go riding but it’s not always the case! I’m working on polishing the process and am looking for feedback on how do you plan your rides?

Planning a route with trails map

We’ll have to talk to Trailforks about that! But there are options..
