How do I log a ride?
Logging your rides on Love to Ride is easy. There are multiple ways you can log your rides, click below to find out how:
Automatically using the Love to Ride App
The Love to Ride app automatically logs all bike rides long and short and is free to download! That means you don’t have to do anything when you start or stop a ride, the app determines you're riding a bike and kicks in to record your route. How great is that?! Learn more about the app.
1. Download the Love to Ride app for free
2. Turn on automatic logging
Once the app is downloaded ensure that automatic logging is turned on. You can turn on automatic logging by clicking the + icon on the 'Me' screen or the 'Rides' screen. Go through the steps to give the app the right settings.
Note: you can also use our start/stop feature or manually log your ride via the Love to Ride App. Find out how.
Manually on the Love to Ride site
1. Click “LOG A RIDE" on the Love to Ride site
It can’t be missed!
2. Enter a distance or length of time, the date, and select what type of ride it was (for fun, commute to work, etc)
Simple as that! Head to your Profile Page to check out how your riding stats are racking up.
Note: you can also log your rides via your Profile Page under the “Add a ride” tab

Why rate your routes?
Rate My Routes powers the Biking Feedback Map which shows how safe and comfortable people feel riding bikes on the streets in their community.
The citizen science enables riders (like you) to provide feedback that can help local planning decisions and make communities better for biking. 😍
