Each ride gets a short code that riders can join from their phone.
Built by a rider for real group rides
Simple ride alerts for bike, trike, family, and group rides.
A ride leader creates a ride, riders join with a short code, and everyone can hear important spoken alerts like Car Back, Slowing, Stopping, and Need Assistance.

3Everyone hears safety alerts.
4Need Assistance shares a map link when location is available.
5 Why It Stands Out
Designed by a real rider
Built from practical group ride needs, not generic chat.
Simple and fast to use
Large controls and short spoken messages keep riders focused.
No continuous tracking
Location is only shared when Need Assistance is pressed.
Easy beta testing
Leaders create a ride, share a code, and collect feedback.
Coming soon: Solo Ride and Family Ride options
Solo Ride will let a rider notify trusted contacts by text if they are lost or need assistance. Family Ride will make it easier for family outings to stay connected and get help quickly when needed.
Privacy and safety note
Group Ride Alert does not continuously track riders. Location is only shared when Need Assistance is pressed and the device provides a location.
Group Ride Alert is a communication aid, not a safety guarantee. Riders should still ride safely, communicate directly when needed, obey laws and trail rules, and use official emergency services for emergencies.
Printable overview
Use the flyer to explain the idea quickly.
The brochure-style version is great for showing ride leaders what the app does at a glance. The website keeps the same message but makes it easier to read on phones.
Now in beta
Looking for ride groups and testers.
Tell me about your ride group and I can send a beta leader code so you can create a ride and try Group Ride Alert with your group.
- Free during beta testing.
- Leader code lets you create test rides.
- Ride code lets your riders join without an account.
Group Ride Alert helps riders communicate important safety messages. It is not a replacement for emergency services, weather radio, or official emergency alerts.
