Profile Information

Your profile information helps personalize your experience and appears on leaderboards. You can update:

• Full Name - Your display name on leaderboards and groups
• Country - Used for regional features
• Experience Level - How experienced a rider you are: Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced

Units

Choose how distances, speeds, and elevation are shown to you across Riding Places:

• Metric - kilometers, km/h, meters
• Imperial - miles, mph, feet

The change applies instantly everywhere in the web portal, and it also carries to the mobile app - your unit preference follows your account.

Email & Password

Change the email address associated with your account or update your password.

My Profile Image

Upload a profile photo that appears next to your name on leaderboards and in groups. Click your current image to upload a new one.

Email Preferences

Control what communications you receive from Riding Places:

• Onboarding emails - Learn how to use Riding Places as a new user
• Newsletter - Tips and cycling insights
• Product Updates - New features and improvements

You will always receive important transactional emails such as password resets, email confirmations, GeoZone completion notifications, and Ramble award and prize claim emails regardless of these settings.

Integrations

Connect third-party services to enhance your Riding Places experience. Currently supported:

• Strava - Automatically sync rides recorded in Strava. See the Ride Recording Integrations guide for details.

Deleting Your Account

To permanently delete your account:

1. Go to Settings
2. Scroll to the bottom of the page
3. Click Delete Account
4. Confirm the deletion

This action is permanent and cannot be undone. All your rides, routes, group memberships, and data will be permanently removed, and your profile images are destroyed. If you connected Strava, deleting your account also disconnects Riding Places from your Strava account at Strava, so we no longer hold any access there.
