Create, manage, and administer bikepools easily and efficiently
The RideAmigos transportation management platform is full of features that help connect bicyclists to form bikepooling communities. Users can create bikepools, invite users to join, get in touch with one another, plan routes, track stats, and much more.
When users save a favorite trip or commute in the RideAmigos system, they are given the option to share it as a bikepooling route. This makes it easy for others to join in or take advantage of the best and most popular bike commuting routes in your area, encouraging further participation.
Biking has everything you could possibly want from an alternative mode of transportation. It’s good for the environment, it helps reduce traffic congestion, and it’s an excellent way to improve health, fitness, and energy levels. Yet, many cyclists and would-be bike commuters prefer to ride in groups. It’s safer, and less-experienced riders feel more secure as part of a community. This is the main reason why bikepooling has become a hot topic in the world of urban transportation management.
Bikepools are sometimes called “bike buddy programs” or simply “bike buddies.” They’re similar to carpools and rideshares in the way they’re structured: one or more people take a leadership role, encouraging others to join and ride along with the group. They are ideal for sharing community knowledge, discovering scenic and interesting routes. They’re also great for making new friends and networking contacts.
Program leaders can help bikepool participants in a lot of different ways. They aid in the selection of safe and comfortable routes, teach others how to ride safely in urban areas, and provide useful bike maintenance and gear selection tips for urban commuters.
With major cities around the world making more meaningful investments in cycling infrastructure, bikepools are fast becoming a popular alternative, especially during the warm-weather months. They are another example of how the urban transportation paradigm is continuing to change, and the team at RideAmigos is proud to be taking a leadership role in the move towards smarter, healthier, and more environmentally friendly commuting.
Our platform’s bikepool features are just one of the many ways we help individuals and organizations of all shapes and sizes use alternative transportation more confidently.
