Cycling Canada, Velo NB and Link My Ride have partnered to help provide a platform to ease the logistics around club activities and bring members closer together.
Link My Ride, the pre-ride organizational platform which allows cyclists to explore, plan and create group rides, has launched an official partnership with Cycling Canada as the governing body’s Official Cycling App. Link My Ride is free for cyclists to use and has a subscription platform tailored for clubs creating a simple and easy experience that allows riders to connect and cycle with others.
The Link My Ride app works by highlighting other riders on the local map and showing rides and clubs nearby or in the defined area.
When using the app you can follow other cyclists to see their activity and rides, discover and join local clubs, see activity in your area via an interactive map, engage with others and also upload your own routes to create group rides. Additionally, the smartphone app provides a number of security features including privacy controls and location masking. Amongst many unique features, it also provides the user with a calendar to keep a log of all upcoming planned rides.
Link My Ride features a tailored Club Portal which facilitates the management of members and club rides whilst removing the administrative burden of running a club. It allows clubs the ability to set routes, assign ride leaders, and tailor the club’s activities to its members.
As part of this partnership, all affiliated Velo NB clubs will receive access to an exclusive discount code with their affiliation.
The Link My Ride App can be downloaded from the Apple Store or from Google Play on Android.
