WHY VELOVATE?
We believe cycling is more than just a sport -- it's a community. Velovate combines the tracking and performance features you need with the team and social tools that make cycling meaningful. Whether you're riding solo or with a team, training for a century or commuting to work, Velovate helps you ride with purpose.

GETTING STARTED
1. Download Velovate and create your account
2. Join an existing team or create your own
3. Start tracking rides and connecting with teammates
4. Coordinate group rides and team events together
5. Chat with your team and follow their rides

Velovate integrates with popular fitness platforms and supports all types of cycling: road biking, mountain biking, gravel riding, commuting, and more.

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
