Ride Spot by PeopleForBikes 3.4.1

PeopleForBikes, a prominent bicycle advocacy organization in America, has developed Ride Spot as a valuable tool for cyclists. It provides numerous features including finding great routes, tracking rides, navigating with free turn-by-turn directions, and sharing ride stories.

Ride Spot stands out by offering high-quality turn-by-turn directions at no cost, unlike other platforms that charge for this service. Users can create their own routes or download routes from friends or brands through the route builder on the ridespot.org website or the app.

In addition to tracking rides and finding routes, Ride Spot allows users to share their complete ride experiences. This includes adding personal stories and photos. The platform also enables users to connect with friends, fellow cyclists, and notable cycling storytellers.

Ride Spot serves as an excellent source of cycling inspiration by providing curated routes from local affiliates such as bike shops, advocacy groups, and clubs. Users can also access routes uploaded by other local riders. With Ride Spot's user-friendly interface, finding suitable routes has never been easier.

Ride Spot also incorporates local events and challenges into its platform. Users can discover upcoming rides and participate in route-based challenges sponsored by local businesses. Upon completing a challenge route, users have the opportunity to claim awards from their favorite shops and brands.

The Ride Spot app offers several features to enhance the user experience. These include battery-friendly ride tracking, turn-by-turn navigation with audio cues, real-time ride statistics (speed, distance, time, elevation), seamless integration with Bluetooth-enabled devices for power, cadence, and heart rate tracking, and access to rides and routes from other riders, bike shops, and affiliated organizations. Users can also search for local routes, events, and challenges directly through the app and manage their profiles along with equipment preferences.

For those concerned about offline navigation, Ride Spot allows users to download offline maps to continue navigating even without cellular service.

Note: Ride Spot utilizes background location services to track users' positions during cycling. It's important to be aware that extended use of GPS in the background can significantly impact battery life.
