Riding

Recording

1. Tap START RIDE on the dashboard.
2. The ride screen opens with a speedometer, distance, time, top speed and a map drawing your line as you go. Tap Start Ride.
3. Put the phone away. RIDR keeps recording with the screen off, which is what the background location permission was for.

4. Pause stops the clock and the distance without ending the ride — for fuel stops and lunch. The elapsed time freezes rather than ticking on, because a paused ride that kept counting would be a lie.
5. Stop asks before it saves.

The saved ride is waiting in the ride list.

While a ride is running

Leave the ride screen and the dashboard carries a banner. Everything you need is on it, so you never have to go hunting for a running ride.

Sharing a ride as it happens

1. Tap Share on the banner.
2. Send to My Emergency Contacts opens Messages with your saved contacts and the link already in it.
3. Send to Someone Else hands the link to the normal share sheet.

The link shows a live map of where you are while the ride is running. It is sent from your phone, to people you choose.

Afterwards

1. Tap the RIDES card on the dashboard.
2. Tap a ride to open it.

3. Swipe a ride left to delete it. Favourite one and it gets its own section, a name you choose, and a Ride Again shortcut.
4. The export button writes a GPX file of the route.

Finding roads

1. Open the ride list and tap Discover Routes.
2. Near Me finds roads around you. By State browses the whole book.
3. Tap a route to read about it, then Ride This Route to open it in Apple Maps or Google Maps — with or without recording the miles against a bike.
