Questions

Frequently asked

Everything worth settling before the first ride.

Routes

Why not just use Komoot?

Komoot does almost everything — and it is built for every kind of bike. That is exactly why a way with no surface tag counts as rideable there. Here the sport decides: the road loop goes around it, and the gravel loop has its own model that hunts the tracks instead of avoiding them.

How do I know a loop is any good?

You do not have to take our word for it — you can see it. Every loop states how much is tarmac, how much is gravel and how much is untagged, before you ride. Tap any point on the line and it tells you the surface right there.

Which region is covered?

Rieda plans rides in the United States and Europe. The model was built and tested on German roads — the best-tagged data anywhere — and every example ride we show is real output from the US graph, nothing staged. Anywhere else, tell us on the waiting list: it decides which country comes next.

What about gravel or MTB?

Both, yes. Gravel with its own cost model that hunts tracks instead of avoiding them — and MTB as tour MTB: forest tracks, long climbs, real descents. Trail-chaining and bike parks deliberately not; the app itself says that limit out loud.

Is it safe in traffic?

The route prefers small, quiet roads and takes big ones only as a last resort — freeways never. But no planner sees today's traffic. You ride on public roads — your judgment on the spot always has the last word.

Devices

Does it work with my Garmin?

Yes. Export a GPX or FIT file with real elevation — Garmin, Wahoo, Karoo and anything else that imports courses.

Do I need a bike computer?

Planning works in the browser, phone included. For riding, you put the GPX or FIT file on a Garmin, Wahoo or Karoo. There is deliberately no phone turn-by-turn — head units do that better.

Account

Do I need an account?

Yes. With email or Google. The account keeps your loops together across devices and counts your monthly allowance.

What happens to my data?

Your loops live in your account so they are on every device — your email address and your routes, nothing else. No ads, nothing sold on, and one click deletes all of it.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes, any time, from your account — access runs to the end of the period you paid for. And you keep the ten free loops a month afterwards anyway.
