RideFollow turns a cyclist's live GPS into a spectator-friendly ride page. Start a ride, share one private link, and friends or family can follow speed, distance, route progress, elevation and ETA from any browser—no account or app required. They can send cheers that buzz the rider's phone. Free during the beta on iOS and Android.
A small thing that would make this feel even more social: let spectators drop a pin on the route map with a short note, so the rider sees "your friend left a cheer at the top of the climb." It would give the cheers some context and make long rides feel like less of a solo effort.
@n_lok72335 That's very cool i will note it and propose it to the beta tester in the following weeks! Thank you!
Shared a link with my partner on a long ride and she could actually buzz my phone mid-route with a cheer. That little buzz at mile 40 made the whole hill feel shorter.
@gler63kh interesting, did you already tried the RideFollow app?
Shared a link with my partner while out on a long ride and watching the cheers pop up on my wrist was a fun little motivator, and the elevation graph actually matched what I was suffering through.
New version also with support to tracking using the CLI ridefollow-cli
The no-account spectator link is such a thoughtful call. Telling grandma to download an app just to watch your Sunday loop would have killed the whole vibe.
