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 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 coming
- ✓Edit any ride detail after people RSVP: everyone going gets notified automatically
- ✓See at a glance when a ride has 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 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 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 routes
Your routes live in the app 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
- ✓Rate the quality of a route you have ridden, and see every route you have rated 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 their own group's rides
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 rideable routes for the area. An AI model drafts them from local knowledge, each one is mapped on real roads with its distance, and every one is labeled as AI-generated. Every AI-generated route defaults to a loop starting and ending somewhere you can park. And once a region has its first routes, the riders already there are encouraged to start a group and invite people to it, so a few routes can grow into a local group.
- ✓Routes pre-populated the moment someone joins from a new region, clearly labeled and reportable if something looks wrong
- ✓Routes default to loops that start and end where you can park safely
- ✓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. Keeping a group riding 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 route ratings, 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
