Frequently asked questions

What is RideFit?

RideFit is a Bicyclotron service where cycling clubs, brands, and communities run cycling challenges. Riders join with a free account, connect Strava, and their progress is tracked automatically from their rides.

What does RideFit cost?

Everything on RideFit is included at zero fee today, for clubs and for riders, and there is no limit on how many riders can take part. A club may set an entry fee or a rider limit for its own challenge, so check the challenge page for its terms.

Can we run classic club formats like 100×10 or 10,000 km in a year?

Yes. The classic formats fit RideFit's five challenge styles directly: 100 km × 10 days in a month and 50 km × 100 days in a year are Consistency challenges, 1,000 km a month for any 10 months is a Monthly Distance challenge, and 10,000 km in a year is a Total Distance challenge. The create form has one-tap starting points for these formats, and every target is adjustable.

How does organiser access work?

Create a free Bicyclotron account, then ask for club access through the organiser portal. We set up every club personally, so approval can take a little while — you'll hear from us shortly.

How do riders join?

• Pick a challenge — for example from the challenge catalog.
• Sign up for a free account — just your name and email.
• Link your Strava account.
• Choose whether your name appears on the public leaderboard, and join.
• That's it — every ride you record counts automatically.

Is Strava required?

Yes. A connected Strava account is required to join a challenge — it's how rides are counted automatically.

How does leaderboard privacy work?

Your name appears on a public leaderboard only if you choose to show it. If you'd rather not be named, you appear as “Anonymous rider” instead.

Can organisers set capacity or charge an entry fee?

Yes. A club can set a rider limit or an entry fee for its own challenge if it wants one. RideFit itself doesn't limit riders, and adds no charges of its own.

Will RideFit become paid?

Paid club plans will be introduced later, and clubs will be told well in advance before any charge begins. Anything a rider pays for a specific challenge is always shown on that challenge's page.
