Safety isn't the most exciting reason to find riding partners, but it might be the most important one — especially for long rides, early starts and remote roads.
Drivers see groups
A group of riders is dramatically more visible than a lone cyclist. Research and experience agree: drivers slow down and give more space to groups.
Mechanicals become minor
A snapped chain 40 km from home alone is a long afternoon. In a group it's a ten-minute stop, someone's quick link, and a story at the café. Shared tools and shared knowledge get everyone home.
Someone knows where you are
When you join a ride on CycleBuddy, the route, start time and rider list live in the app. If something goes wrong, you're not an anonymous dot on an empty road.
Ride visible, ride together
In CycleBuddy your live position is shared only with the riders in a group ride you've joined, while that ride is under way — and you can report or block anyone. Find a crew near you and make your riskiest rides your safest ones.
