Too many people buy bikes, begin riding, but then immediately stop and don’t start again. Why? Many don’t have positive first-time experiences--often because they picked busy roads packed with cars and trucks that make cycling more stressful and less enjoyable (even when great riding options were nearby). Others battle basic bike equipment challenges such as under-inflated tires, uncomfortable saddles or a helmet that doesn’t fit. Too many people don’t know where to turn for guidance on where to ride or how to properly prepare. Ride Spot is a contemporary solution that delivers what new bike riders want and need.
