4. Start a ride

  1. In the app, make sure your sensors (power, cadence, heart rate) are connected via Bluetooth.
  2. Tap START to begin recording.
  3. The app sends data every second. You can watch the live map on the Viewer page.

6. Share your data

By default, your data is private. You decide who can see it.

  2. Other users can now find you in the Users list and request access.
  3. You receive their request on the Permissions page.
  4. Click Grant to allow access, or Refuse to deny.
  5. You can revoke access at any time — the request will show a Grant button again, so you can restore it if you change your mind.
