Group Profile

Setting up your group's public profile, access settings, and contact information.

About Your Profile

Your group profile is what riders see when they discover your group. A complete profile builds trust and helps riders understand what your group offers. The Profile page has collapsible sections that you can expand to edit.

Name

Your organization's name as it appears to riders throughout the app - on your profile, your Ramble cards and pages, the group finder, and leaderboards.

Group Access

Choose how riders can join your group:

  • Public - Anyone can find your group by searching and join without a code. Best for bike shops, cycling clubs, and public events seeking maximum visibility.
  • Private - Riders need your access code to join. Best for employers, membership organizations, and exclusive promotions.

Recommendation for Employers

If you're an employer running commute Rambles (with Commute/Work GeoZones at your office locations), use a Private group. This ensures only your employees can take part and prevents the general public from joining your corporate wellness program or earning the rewards on your Rambles.

Setting Up Your Access Code

If you choose Private, you'll need to create an access code:

  1. In the "Group Access" section, select Private
  2. Enter your chosen access code
  3. Click Save

Sharing Your Code

Distribute your access code to riders you want to invite via:

  • Internal email or company intranet (for employers)
  • Welcome packets for new members (for clubs)
  • Event registration confirmations
  • Direct message or in-person

Changing Your Code

You can change your access code at any time. Existing members are not affected - they remain in the group. Only new joiners will need the updated code.

Access Code Tips

Access codes are case-sensitive. Choose something memorable for your audience but not easily guessed by outsiders. Avoid sharing codes on public social media if you want to maintain exclusivity.

Logo & Banner Images

  • Logo - Square image displayed on your profile card and alongside your Rambles. This is typically your company or organization logo.
  • Banner Image - Wide landscape image displayed at the top of your profile page. Choose something that represents your group's identity or location.
  • Horizontal Wordmark - Optional wide version of your logo, used on your printed materials (the Group Kit and Ramble Poster). If you don't upload one, they use your square logo instead.
  • Brand Color - Optional color that themes your printed materials. Pick your organization's color, or leave it on the default Riding Places blue.

Group Description

A detailed description of your group that appears on your profile page. Explain who you are, what you offer, and why riders should join. This is your opportunity to tell your story and attract members.

Rider Facing Info

Contact information displayed on your public profile so riders can reach you:

  • Customer Email - Contact email address for rider inquiries
  • Website - Link to your organization's website
  • Telephone - Phone number (optional)
  • Address - Physical location (useful for bike shops, cafes, employers)

Business Hours

If you're a business (bike shop, cafe, etc.), add your opening hours for each day of the week. This helps riders know when they can visit. Leave blank for days you're closed.

Social Accounts

Link your social media profiles to help riders connect with you on other platforms. Supported platforms include:

  • Instagram
  • Facebook
  • TikTok
  • Threads
  • Snapchat

Social icons appear on your profile page, making it easy for riders to follow you.
