# Ride

> Ride is a cycling computer for iPhone and Apple Watch that estimates your power output in real time from the sensors already in your phone — no power meter and no extra hardware — and can broadcast that estimate to a Garmin, Wahoo or Hammerhead head unit as if it were a real meter.

Ride is an independent cycling app, not a hardware product. The subscription is
the whole business — there is no ad-supported tier and no data resale. iOS is
live on the App Store; Android is still in development.

This file is generated at request time from the same sources the website

## What Ride does

### Real-Time Power
- Estimates cycling power and cadence from an iPhone's own sensors and GPS
- No power meter, no crank swap, no additional hardware to buy
- Validated against a calibrated power meter across varied riders and terrain;
  the comparison charts are published in the press kit (linked below)

### Pocket Power
- Broadcasts the phone's power estimate over Bluetooth as a standard power meter
- Lets an existing Garmin, Wahoo or Hammerhead head unit read Ride's power while
  the phone stays in a jersey pocket
- Also broadcasts cadence

### Apple Watch
- Standalone watchOS app for phone-free rides
- Real-time metrics on the wrist

### Recording and metrics
- GPS route recording, elevation, speed, distance, heart rate
- Fully customisable in-ride screen layouts via an on-device layout editor
- Bike and gear management, goals and progress tracking, performance analytics
- Photos and media attached to rides

### Connections
- Automatic Strava sync
- Apple Health
- External Bluetooth sensors and meters (heart rate, power, speed, cadence)

## Languages

The marketing site is published in 16 locales. English
is served unprefixed at the root; every other locale is a path prefix, so the
German home page is https://ride.app/de and the German download page is
https://ride.app/de/download. Every page also carries hreflang alternates.

en (default, served at /), en-GB (/en-gb), en-AU (/en-au), es (/es), de (/de), fr (/fr), zh-Hans (/zh), pt-BR (/pt-br), ru (/ru), nl (/nl), ja (/ja), it (/it), ko (/ko), tr (/tr), pl (/pl), hi (/hi)

## Who it is for

- Cyclists who want to train with power but do not want to buy a power meter
- Riders who already own a head unit and want power data feeding into it
- Triathletes, cycling coaches, and Apple Watch owners tracking rides
