FAQ

A free website for finding and creating group bike rides around north Georgia: downhill and bike park laps, enduro, trail, cross-country, gravel, road, and chill city rides. It's built by a local rider to help more people get out and ride together.

No. Finding, joining, creating, and leading rides is free, and always will be, for riders, ride leaders, and shops. Later there will be an optional Pro upgrade with extras for anyone who wants them, and a Shop Pro upgrade for bike shops. Early members get perks for helping RideTime get started.

You can look at rides without one. To join a ride, comment, create rides, or message riders, make a free account with your email.

Riders 18 and older. Riders 13 to 17 can use it with a parent's or guardian's permission and must ride with a parent, guardian, or trusted adult they know. Private messages are for adults only. See the Rider Safety & Terms.

On Find a Ride, tap Use my location or type your zip code, then pick a distance. Switch to Map to see rides on a map, or Calendar to see them by date. On a phone, tap More filters for ride type, level, and no-drop.

Mountain and gravel rides use trail-sign colors: 🟢 green is beginner, 🔵 blue is intermediate, ⬛ black is advanced, and double black is expert. Road and city rides list a pace instead, from social and no-drop up to race pace. They're a guide from the organizer, so ask in the ride discussion if you're not sure.

Nobody gets left behind. The group waits at turns and regroups so everyone finishes together. Great for newer riders or anyone coming back from a break.

Organizers mark rides Confirmed or Canceled (with a reason, like wet trails). Check the ride page before you leave. It also shows a weather forecast for the start time.

Yes. On any ride page, tap Google Calendar or iPhone / Outlook. It saves the time, meeting spot, and a link back to the ride, plus a reminder 2 hours before.

Go to Create Ride, pick the ride type and level, set the meeting spot (tap the map to drop an exact pin), and add any notes like what to bring. You can edit, confirm, or cancel it anytime from the ride page.

Yes, free for every ride leader. Pick weekly, every 2 weeks, or monthly (like the first Friday), and RideTime creates the dates for you. Each date can be canceled on its own, like for a holiday.

Yes. Fill in Ride leader with their name and it shows them as the leader.

Crews and clubs can make a group under Community. Groups have a page, a member list, and can host rides.

Anyone can join a public group right away. For a private group, you tap Ask to join, and the group leader lets you in.

When a group hosts a ride, the organizer can make it a private group ride. Only members of that group can see it and join. Everyone else won't see it in Find a Ride.

Yes! Go to Community → Bike shops and tap + Add your shop. Add your address, hours, phone, website, and logo. Shop rides you create show on your page, and your staff can tap I work here to join your team.

New shop pages are checked by RideTime first, usually within a day, so nobody can pretend to be your shop. Once checked, your page gets a ✓ Verified badge.

Open any rider's profile and tap Message. The first time, you confirm you're 18 or older. A small number on Messages in the menu shows when you have new ones.

Edit your profile and use Work at a bike shop? to find your shop. A manager there adds you to the team, and then you can post rides for the shop. Shops with more than one store can list each one as a location under the main shop.

Tap Follow on a rider's profile and you'll get a notification (the bell at the top) whenever they post a new ride. They get a notice that you followed them, and both of you can see your follower and following lists on your profiles.

The bell at the top shows new followers, new messages, people joining or commenting on your rides, requests to join your group, and changes to rides you joined, like a cancellation or a new time. Email alerts are coming soon.

Go to Community → Riders and type their name, or use Find a rider at the top of Messages. Riders who hid their profile won't show up.

In the chat, tap Block and they can't message you anymore. You can also tap Report under any message or comment, or on any ride, and we'll review it. If you ever feel unsafe, call 911.
