Help make your community better for biking > Automatically log all your rides > Improve infrastructure by rating your local streets > The more you ride, the more prizes you could win! Log rides automatically The Love to Ride app can automatically log all bike rides, long and short, without you needing to press 'start' and 'stop.' If it determines you're riding a bike, the app kicks in and records your ride. There's no need to pull your phone out of your pocket before or after a ride! Rate My Routes You can now give feedback on how safe and comfortable you feel when riding your bike on different streets in your community. You simply 'paint' your routes with your finger. For example, red for where you feel unsafe and green for where you feel safe. Your anonymous feedback is combined with everyone else’s on a map to show which parts of your community are in greatest need of improvement for biking. If you are a dedicated Garmin user, you can sync your Garmin to Love to Ride and then Rate your Garmin Routes in the app. Incident & infrastructure reporting Easily report specific locations where you've experienced bike accidents, encountered issues, or want to suggest improvements. Pinpoint problem spots on the map and submit your feedback directly. Your reports help create a safer, more bike-friendly community by highlighting areas for local authorities to address. Biking feedback maps See how the routes you've rated compare with the combined ratings from others in your community. The public map is an excellent tool for planning your daily commute or discovering stress-free routes in your area. Win prizes year-round With our seasonal campaigns and monthly app giveaways, you could win big when you ride. Each year we award big prizes to hundreds of riders. You could win new bikes, bike accessories, dream getaways, cash prizes, and more! Additional features include: > Start/stop and manual bike trip logging > A heatmap of where you've biked > A travel diary > Biking streaks and goals to motivate you to ride more > Integration with Love to Ride's biking challenges Let’s ride!
