RideFollow is built for everyone else: the partner, parent, friend, or fan who just wants to watch.

When someone you love heads out for a long ride, your options are usually "you alive?" texts and an anxious refresh. RideFollow turns the ride into a race you can follow from the couch — a map, a moving dot, live numbers, and a finish line.

WATCH A RIDE LIKE A RACE
• Live Follow — open a rider's ride and watch in real time: their position on the map, speed, distance and elevation, updating as they go.
• Race Mode — frame the ride as a race. Pace the rider against their own past self or a target time, with a live ahead/behind gap and a projected finish. This is the soul of it.
• Replay — completed rides play back like a recorded race. Scrub the timeline and watch the dot move along the route.
• The dashboard — a clean, broadcast-style readout of the numbers that matter. Built to be watched, not just logged.

SHARE A RIDE IN ONE TAP
Going out? Send a link and bring someone along. They tap it and they're watching — no account hoops, just a seat at the rail.

NOT A TRACKER — A CROWD
RideFollow isn't surveillance and it isn't a training log. It's the screen your partner pulls up to watch you climb, and the replay you both rewatch over dinner. You're not a dot being tracked — you're a rider with a crowd.

BUILT IN PUBLIC
RideFollow is a small project built out in the open, and this is an early release. Expect quick updates, a few rough edges, and a roadmap shaped by the people who actually use it. If there's a rider you love to follow, come join the crowd.
