Add your first bike

Updated

Once you've signed up, a quick five-step onboarding gets you
tracking in a few minutes. The steps below mirror the in-app
onboarding flow at /onboarding:

1. Sign in

Use email, Google, Facebook, or Apple. See Create your account
if you haven't signed up yet.

2. Add your bike

Go to BikesAdd Bike and fill in:

  • Name — a nickname (e.g. "Road Racer", "Mountain Beast").
  • Make — manufacturer (e.g. Trek, Specialized, Canyon).
  • Model — bike model (e.g. Domane SL7, Stumpjumper).
  • Year — model year, picked from a dropdown.
  • Type — Road, Mountain, Gravel, Urban, Indoor, E-Bike, and more.
    See the full list in Add a new bike.
  • Status — Current, Wishlist, or Retired.

Once Strava is connected (Settings → Strava), you can link this
bike to a Strava gear entry so distances sync automatically.

3. Track components

On your bike's page, add components (chain, cassette, tires, brake pads,
…). Set a maintenance interval for
each one and we'll alert you when it's time for service.

4. Ride

If your bike is linked to Strava, distances update in near-real
time via the Strava webhook (the cron also runs every 6 hours as a
safety net). Otherwise, edit the bike to update its odometer
manually.

5. Share (optional)

When you're ready, publish your profile and any bikes you want to
show off — see
Share your profile and bikes.
