Friends and Ride History

Shift is social, so it keeps track of two things: the people you ride with, and the rides you've done. Friends let you build your network, and ride history is your searchable archive of everything you've ridden.

Managing friends#

Friends are the people you can invite to group rides and see out on the road. Managing them is straightforward:

• Find people — search for someone by their username.
• Send a request — ask to connect.
• Accept or decline — respond to requests others send you.
• Remove friends — drop a connection whenever you like.

Your username is part of your profile, so make sure friends can find you — you can set it in your athlete profile. Once you're connected, inviting friends into a ride is just a tap away when you set up a group ride.

Your ride history#

Every ride you complete in Shift is saved to your history, giving you a record of where you've been and how it went. For each past ride you can see:

• Maps — the route you rode.
• Metrics — the numbers from the session.
• Attendees — who rode it with you.

The history is searchable and paginated, so even after many rides you can quickly find a particular session — by route, by occasion, or just by scrolling back through the pages.

Exporting a ride#

Any ride in your history can be exported as a FIT file, one ride at a time. That lets you keep a copy of the session or take its data elsewhere. FIT is the standard format used across cycling computers and sports-tracking tools, so your ride travels with you.

Putting it together#

Friends and history are the two halves of Shift's social side — one looks forward to your next group ride, the other looks back at the ones you've done.

Build your circle, ride together, and keep a record of every shared session.
