Everything the group chat is missing
2 Wheels in Common is built around one idea: getting riders together is harder than it should be. Here is what we built to fix that.
Find rides happening near you
Rides surfaces upcoming group rides near you on a real regional map, filterable by this weekend, the next 7 days, or everything on the calendar. Every ride shows who is organizing it and how many riders are already going, so you know what you are walking into before you RSVP.
- ✓Browse upcoming rides filtered by date and distance, plotted on a real regional map
- ✓Rider profiles with bike type, riding style and ride history
- ✓Follow riders you want to ride with again
- ✓Invite a rider you follow directly, or share a link -- it works even for someone who does not have the app yet
Plan rides without the chaos
Group chats are fine for small talk. They are a disaster for coordinating 12 people to meet up at 7am. 2 Wheels in Common gives rides a dedicated space: route, date, meeting point and attendee list, all in one place.
- ✓Create rides with a route, date, time and meeting point
- ✓Attach an existing route or plan a new one with turn-by-turn directions
- ✓Search meeting points and stops by business name, not just a dropped pin
- ✓RSVP system so you know who is actually coming
- ✓Edit any ride detail after people RSVP -- everyone going gets notified automatically
- ✓See at a glance when a ride has actually started, with a live countdown beforehand
Ride safely, together
A group of people who do not know each other well showing up at someone's house is a real problem, and most group-ride apps do nothing to discourage it -- or to help a group find each other once they are actually out on the road. 2 Wheels in Common builds safety in at both ends, and it is opt-in by design: we tell you where to meet safely, we do not track where you actually go unless you choose to share it for a specific ride.
- ✓Nudges toward public meeting spots: gas stations, parking lots, trailheads
- ✓Flags it when a selected address looks like a private residence rather than a business
- ✓Advisory, not a hard block -- dismiss it and proceed if you know what you are doing
- ✓Opt-in live location sharing during a ride, off by default, so a spread-out group can find each other
- ✓Pre-ride weather forecast for the ride's meeting point and start time, right on the ride detail screen
- ✓Report or block another rider directly from the app
Plan, record and share real routes
This is not just an app for meeting up -- it is where your routes live too. Plan a ride with turn-by-turn directions before you ever throw a leg over the bike, or record your own GPS track as you go, marking fuel, food, coffee and viewpoint stops along the way.
- ✓GPS route recording with waypoint stops, searchable by theme: views, food, coffee, fuel, rest, parking
- ✓See what is along the way -- stops grouped by theme on every ride and route detail screen -- before you commit
- ✓Turn-by-turn route planning with a live preview before you save it
- ✓Customize an existing route's stops for your ride -- we handle the duplicate cleanup behind the scenes
- ✓A "✓ Verified" badge on admin-reviewed routes, so you can tell a known-good route from a one-off variation
- ✓Curated routes seeded across every region, plus every route the community records
- ✓Kudos on routes you like, and a running list of every route you have kudos'd on your profile
- ✓One-tap navigation with Google Maps
Join a local riding group
Riding groups here are real and organizer-run, not an empty app waiting for someone else to post first. Search by name or region, join with a tap, and see rides scoped to your group instead of every ride in the metro area.
- ✓Search and filter groups by name or region
- ✓Organizer-run groups already active in every region we have launched
- ✓Create and organize your own group anytime, no approval needed
- ✓Rides can be scoped to a group so members see what is actually theirs
Growing into every city
A brand-new region does not have to start empty. The moment a rider joins from a region the app has not seeded yet, we pre-populate it with a small set of real, rideable routes for the area: built from a real AI model, grounded in local knowledge, mapped as an actual path with real distance and roads, and always clearly labeled so it is obvious what it is. Every AI-generated route defaults to a loop starting and ending somewhere you can actually park. And once a region has its first routes, the riders already there are encouraged to start a group and invite people to it, turning content into a real local community.
- ✓Routes pre-populated the moment someone joins from a new region, clearly labeled and reportable if something looks wrong
- ✓Routes default to loops starting and ending at a real, safe-parking location
- ✓No group is created automatically: the first riders in a newly-populated region are encouraged to start one and invite people to it
Build a community that rides
Finding people is one thing. Building a group that actually gets out regularly is another. The app is built around the parts that make that stick: who you follow, what they are up to, and routes worth riding when your feed is quiet.
- ✓Follow riders and groups you want to ride with again
- ✓Feed surfaces activity from riders and groups you follow, your own upcoming RSVP'd rides, and kudos activity -- not just posts
- ✓Curated routes surfaced on your feed when there is not much happening yet
- ✓Opt into a daily or weekly digest of new rides and routes in your area -- off by default
- ✓Available in English, French and German, with a language switcher in your profile settings
