Testing from December · launching 1 March 2027

Nobody rides alone.

Velogether connects you with cyclists near you. Post the ride you're doing anyway and let others join, or find a ride that matches your type and level.

  • Free to find, post and join rides
  • No ads, ever
  • In English and Slovenian

Ride levels

Know what you're joining before you clip in.

Every ride says how hard it is. Road and gravel rides show a pace band, MTB rides show the trail colour and effort, and relaxed rides use simple tags.

Road and gravel pace

  1. Relaxed under 20 km/h
  2. Moderate 20–25 km/h
  3. Brisk 25–30 km/h
  4. Fast 30–35 km/h
  5. Race 35+ km/h

No-drop rides wait for everyone. ⛰ Climbing ride rides add a climbing pace: 5–10, 10–15, 15–20 or 20+ km/h. A ride that is just a climb has only the climbing pace; one with flat parts and big climbs shows both.

MTB trail difficulty

  • Green easy
  • Blue moderate
  • Red difficult
  • Black expert

Plus the physical effort (easy, moderate or hard) and the riding style: cross-country, trail/enduro or downhill.

Family, casual, senior, e-bike and trekking

  • Kid-friendly
  • Relaxed pace
  • Mostly flat
  • Paved roads
  • Scenic
  • Bike paths

Every ride also lists its stops: café, lunch, rest, water refill or sightseeing. Bikepacking trips have their own tags instead: camping, huts / guesthouses, self-supported, mixed terrain, few resupply points and scenic.

Ten ride types

  • Road
  • Gravel
  • MTB
  • E-bike
  • Family
  • Casual
  • Senior
  • Trekking
  • Commuting
  • Bikepacking

Features

Everything you need to ride with new people.

Find rides near you

A list and a map of upcoming rides, matched to your ride types and level. On the map, a list shows the rides in the area you're looking at. Filter by date, distance from you, no-drop, e-bikes welcome and more.

Post a ride in a minute

Pick a meeting point, and the app suggests public spots nearby. Add a GPX or FIT route, use one of your saved routes, or let the app suggest some: loops of the length you want, or the shortest, flattest and quietest way to where you finish. Every route shows how long it takes at the ride's pace, and the ride's duration is set to match it. Suggested routes show how much is paved or gravel.

Questions and ride chat

Not sure about the pace or the stops? Ask the host on the ride page: questions and answers are public, so everyone knows before joining. Once you join, the ride chat has messages, photos from the ride, a pin to show exactly where you're waiting, and reactions. Quick buttons like "On my way" save typing on ride day.

Ride alerts

Nothing near you this weekend? Ask the app to tell you when someone posts a gravel ride within 30 km, or whatever suits you.

Repeating rides

Host the Tuesday evening loop as a series. Each date is its own ride, so riders join the weeks that suit them.

Friends

After a ride, add the people you rode with. Meet someone at the café? Scan their QR code. Invite friends to your rides and leave the rest of the places open, send them a ride you've joined, and send them private messages, photos and your location.

Badges

Earn badges for hosting, joining and riding with new people, from Bronze to Diamond. Early riders get Founding Rider, the first hosts in a municipality get Local Pioneer, and inviting friends who start riding earns Ambassador.

Weather on every ride

Rides in the next week or so show the forecast for the start. The host gets a warning when storms or heavy rain are on the way.

Works with your bike computer

Import GPX or FIT files exported from Garmin, Wahoo, Komoot or Strava (or open them with Velogether straight from your files or email), and download the route of any ride you've joined as GPX for your device. Share your own routes with a link: friends without the app see a map preview.

Repair stations on the map

Public repair stands with tools and a pump on the map, from OpenStreetMap and from riders. Tap one to see what it has and get directions, report it if it's gone, or add a missing one with a photo.

How it works

From the app to the meeting point.

  1. 1

    Tell us how you ride

    Pick your ride types, your level for each and your home town. The app then shows rides that suit you first.

  2. 2

    Join or post a ride

    Join an open ride, ask the host to join, or post your own and choose who can join.

  3. 3

    Meet up and ride

    An hour before, a reminder brings directions to the meeting point. When you get there, press "I'm here". The app checks your location once, then you're off.

  4. 4

    After the ride

    Rate the ride, share photos and the GPX, add new friends and see your badge progress.

Safety and privacy

You meet strangers in real life. We take that seriously.

Everyone else sees an area of about 1 km, randomly offset, and the route without its start and end.
Riders who joined see the exact meeting point and the full route.
  • Your home stays private

    Your profile shows your town, never an address. Shared routes are trimmed at the start and end, and you can set privacy zones around home and work. If you put a meeting point near your home or work, the app warns you.

  • No tracking

    Velogether doesn't follow you around. Your location is checked once, when you press "I'm here" at the meeting point.

  • Women-only rides

    Hosts can make a ride women only. Only women can see and join it.

  • Real riders, real ratings

    Profiles show rides hosted, people ridden with and the host's rating. Only riders who actually showed up can rate a ride. Your full name is shown only to friends.

  • Block and report

    Block anyone, and report a rider, a ride or a message. Every report is reviewed.

  • Share my ride

    Send someone at home where you're riding, with whom and when you'll be back.

FAQ

Questions before the start line.

When and where does Velogether launch?

Testing with riders in Slovenia starts in December 2026. The public launch is on 1 March 2027, on iOS and Android, everywhere, in English and Slovenian. Want to test? Tick the box when you sign up.

Is it free?

Yes. Finding, posting and joining rides is free and always will be, with no ads. Optional Premium adds extras like offline maps, detailed weather and more ride alerts.

Does the app track my rides?

No. There's no live tracking and nothing runs in the background. When you press "I'm here" at the meeting point, the app checks your location once to confirm you showed up.

Who can see where we meet?

Only riders who joined the ride see the exact meeting point and the full route. Everyone else sees an area of about 1 km and the route without its start and end.

Does it work with Strava, Garmin or Komoot?

Export your route as a GPX or FIT file from any app or device and import it into Velogether, or open the file with Velogether. Once you've joined a ride, you can download its route as GPX for your bike computer, and you can share a saved route with a link. There's no direct connection to other apps.

Can I bring my kids?

Yes, on family rides. Family rides count families instead of riders, and each family says how many adults and kids are coming. Accounts are for adults (18+) only.

I'm hosting a ride but can't make it. What now?

Hand it over instead of cancelling: ask one of the riders who joined to take over as host. Nothing changes until they accept, and you stay on the ride as a rider. Hosts can also pick up to two co-hosts who help answer questions and keep the chat tidy.

What about clubs?

Club features are planned for later. Until then, club rides work well as repeating rides posted by a club member, and riders can follow a repeating ride to hear about each date.
