Welcome to the Love to Ride app guide on logging your rides. Whether you’re a daily commuter, weekend warrior, or just enjoy the occasional spin, we’ve got you covered with three easy ways to track your rides. Let’s dive in! 📱

Automatically log your rides

Say goodbye to the hassle of manually logging your rides! With our automatic logging feature, the app works its magic in the background to detect when you're biking. No need to lift a finger – just ride, and let the app do the rest. How cool is that?! 😎

What are the benefits of auto logging?

  • Never Miss a Ride: Automatic logging captures all your rides, even the short ones to the store or work.

  • Help Your Community: Your anonymous ride data helps local authority partners and bike advocacy groups improve cycling infrastructure.

  • Win Prizes: Automatically enter prize drawings and earn points during Love to Ride challenges with zero effort. 🎁

How do I turn on automatic logging?

  1. Head to the 'More' tab or click the reminder in the 'Rides' tab.

  2. Follow the app’s prompts to enable automatic logging.
