CrossRide turns the moment you pass a cool car or motorcycle on the road into a real connection. You're out riding and cross paths with an amazing bike. You want to say hi—but you split at the next junction. CrossRide fixes that missed connection. HOW IT WORKS 1. Register your vehicle with photos, Instagram, and tags. 2. Turn on the radar—CrossRide detects other users within 100m while you ride. 3. Connect through Instagram from your pass-by history. PRIVACY-FIRST DESIGN - Home Zone auto-off: detection stops near your home. - Block anyone with one tap. - Instagram visibility: public, mutual-like, or approval-based. - Your exact location is never shared—only the fact that you passed by. - Delete your pass-by history anytime. Free for all features until we reach 10,000 users. Never operate the app while driving. Always pull over safely first.
