RideFollow
Every bike ride like a race
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Someone you love is out riding right now. Open their private link and watch it unfold like a race — a moving dot, live speed, and a finish line. Cheer them on.
Most cycling apps are built for the rider — they're logbooks for your own numbers. RideFollow is built for everyone else: the partner, parent, friend, or fan who just wants to watch.
When someone you love heads out for a long ride, your options are usually "you alive?" texts and an anxious refresh. RideFollow turns the ride into a race you can follow from the couch — a map, a moving dot, live numbers, and a finish line.
WATCH A RIDE LIKE A RACE
• Live Follow — open a rider's ride and watch in real time: their position on the map, speed, distance, and elevation, updating as they go.
• Race Mode — frame the ride as a race. Pace the rider against a target and watch the live ahead/behind gap and a projected finish. This is the soul of it.
• The dashboard — a clean, broadcast-style readout of the numbers that matter, with a live speed graph. Built to be watched, not just logged.
• Replay — a finished ride plays back like a recorded race. Watch the dot move along the route again.
SHARE A RIDE IN ONE TAP
Heading out? Send one private link and bring someone along. They tap it and they're watching — no account to create, just a seat at the rail. Every ride gets a fresh link, and you decide who gets it.
CHEER THEM ON
Watching isn't silent. Send a cheer while they ride and it lands on the rider's phone — a little shout from the couch to the climb. Pick a reaction, tap, and they know the crowd is there.
NOT A TRACKER — A CROWD
RideFollow isn't surveillance and it isn't a training log. It's the screen your partner pulls up to watch you climb, and the replay you both rewatch over dinner. You're not a dot being tracked — you're a rider with a crowd.
BUILT FOR THE PERSON WATCHING
• Private by design — a fresh link per ride, shared only with the people you choose.
• No ads, no data brokers, no third-party trackers.
• Location is shared only while you're actively broadcasting a ride, and you can stop any time.
RideFollow is a small project built out in the open, shaped by the people who actually use it. If there's a rider you love to follow, come join the crowd.
Follow every ride like a race.
