The Group Chat That Keeps Your Ride Together

Anyone who's organised a group ride over WhatsApp knows the pain: the meeting point buried under 80 messages, three people asking "what time again?", one rider lost at the wrong café. CycleBuddy gives every ride its own purpose-built chat.

One ride, one chat

Join a ride and you're in its chat automatically. Leave the ride, leave the chat. No eternal group with 200 members planning six different rides at once — each conversation is about exactly one ride.

The pinned card ends the questions

Date, start location, and pace are pinned at the top of every chat, always visible. Nobody has to scroll or ask. Organisers add notes like "lights needed" or "regroup at the top of the climb".

Only riders can read

Chats are private to the people who joined the ride. No lurkers, no spam — just the people you're actually about to ride with.

Push notifications that matter

Message in a ride you've joined? You'll know. Start time moved? You'll know before you leave the house. That's the difference between a chat and a tool.

Never ride alone again 🚴

CycleBuddy is free — find riders, join group rides and track every ride without paying a cent.
