Community Guidelines

Last updated: September 2026

Rev-N-Ryd exists so that riders can find each other and go ride. That only works on trust — trust that the person in the profile is real, that the ride is real, that the group won't drop you on an unfamiliar road, and that what you say in a Circle stays between riders.

These guidelines describe what that trust looks like in practice. They apply everywhere on Rev-N-Ryd: profiles, Circles, posts, comments, chat, rides, ride chat, and Ride Broadcast voice. They sit alongside our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

One thing to be clear about up front: Rev-N-Ryd does not supervise riding. We are not on the road with you, we don't watch rides as they happen, and we can't intervene in one. What we can do is act on what happens on the platform, and remove people who make it worse for everyone else.

Be someone people want to ride with

Riders disagree about bikes, routes, gear, and pace. Argue all you like. Just don't be cruel about it.

Don't harass, bully, or threaten anyone. Not in a Circle, not in a ride chat, not over voice, not through a profile. This includes targeted insults, pile-ons, threats of violence, and threats aimed at someone's family, job, or bike.

Take no for an answer. If someone declines your connection request, leaves your Circle, turns down your ride, or asks you to stop contacting them — stop. Repeatedly contacting someone who has made it clear they're not interested is harassment, whether it's through requests, invitations, mentions, or chat.

No hate. Attacking riders over race, religion, caste, nationality, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or any other part of who they are has no place here. Riding is one of the few things that doesn't care who you are; keep it that way.

Don't drag off-app fights on-app. A Circle chat is not the venue for settling something that happened elsewhere.

Riding: the rules that actually matter

This is a motorcycle app. These are the guidelines we care about most.

Never pressure someone to ride beyond their ability. Every group has a slowest rider, and that rider is not the problem. Don't push someone to keep up, don't shame them for hanging back, don't leave them behind at a turn, and don't treat "I'm not comfortable with that pace" as an opening for negotiation. If someone says a ride is too much for them, that's the end of the conversation.

Don't pressure anyone to speed or break the law. Not on the road, not in the ride chat before it, not over voice during it. "Everyone else is doing it" is exactly the thing that gets a rider killed.

Don't organise or promote illegal riding. Street racing, speed runs, top-speed attempts, stunting on public roads, riding under the influence, evading police — don't plan it here, don't advertise it here, don't glorify it here, and don't use a ride listing as cover for it.

Ride groups responsibly. If you organise a ride, you're taking on real responsibility for other people's time and safety. Set a realistic pace and say what it is. Don't run a group in a way that forces riders into unsafe overtakes, gaps in traffic they shouldn't take, or formations they haven't agreed to. Brief people on stops. Count everyone at them.

Be honest about the ride. Say what the route actually is, how long it actually takes, what the roads are actually like, and what pace you actually intend. Deliberately understating a ride's difficulty, distance, or pace to fill it out is one of the more dangerous things you can do on this platform, and it's a fast way to lose your account.

Don't create rides that aren't real. Fake rides, rides used to bait someone into a location, rides created to spam or promote — all of it is off-limits. Meeting points and destinations must be places you actually intend to be.

If plans change, say so. Cancel a ride you're not running rather than leaving people at a fuel station. Tell your group if the route, timing, or meeting point moves. If you're the organiser and you have to step away, hand the ride over — the app lets you transfer organiser duties to another rider.

Respect the decision to leave. A rider can drop out of a ride at any point, for any reason or none. Nobody owes you their continued presence on a road.

Location and privacy

Live location on Rev-N-Ryd exists for one reason: so a group can see each other during an active ride. That is the entire scope of the permission a rider gave you.

Don't use another rider's position to follow, find, intercept, or turn up on them. Not during a ride, not after it.

Don't treat a ride's live sharing as ongoing access. It ends when the ride ends. What someone shared for a Sunday morning was not shared for Monday.

Don't share anyone's location, route, or whereabouts outside the ride they shared it with. No screenshots to third parties, no forwarding, no "guess where X is right now".

Don't publish anyone's private information. Real name, phone number, email address, home address, workplace, bike registration, family details, or anything else they didn't choose to put on their own profile. This applies even if you found it somewhere else.

Don't collect, scrape, or compile information about riders. Not manually, not with tools.

Assume Circles and ride chats are shared spaces. Rev-N-Ryd has no private one-to-one messaging — everything you write is read by everyone in that Circle or ride. And what someone writes in one is theirs; don't repost it elsewhere without asking.

Be who you say you are

Don't impersonate anyone. Not another rider, not a public figure, not a business, not a riding club, and not Rev-N-Ryd or anyone who works on it.

No fake profiles. One account, real information, your own photos. Don't run multiple accounts to get around a block, a Circle removal, or a suspension.

Don't lie about verification. Don't claim to be verified when you aren't, don't fake a badge in a photo or a bio, and don't imply that being verified means Rev-N-Ryd has vouched for your riding, your licence, or your character. It doesn't — it means we checked an ID against a selfie, nothing more.

Don't imply Rev-N-Ryd endorses you. Organising rides or running a large Circle doesn't make you our representative, and presenting yourself as one isn't allowed.

No scams or fraud. No fake sales, no fake parts, no fake fundraisers, no advance-payment schemes, no phishing for someone's account or payment details, no "send me a deposit to hold your spot".

Circles and rides

Follow the Circle's own rules. Circle owners set the tone of their group. If you're in someone's Circle, respect how they run it — and if you don't like it, leave rather than fight about it.

Run your Circle fairly. If you own or admin a Circle, use the controls you have — invitations, join requests, removals — for the group's benefit, not to bully or to settle scores. If you're stepping away, transfer ownership rather than abandoning members.

Don't abuse invitations and requests. Mass-inviting riders who have no connection to your Circle or ride, repeatedly re-requesting after being declined, or using invitations as a delivery mechanism for promotion is spam.

Show up, or say you're not coming. If you've joined a ride, the organiser is planning around you. Withdrawing is fine — going quiet isn't.

Communicate clearly. Meeting point, time, pace, distance, fuel stops, what to bring. Most bad group rides are communication failures before they're anything else.

Content

Keep it appropriate. Rev-N-Ryd is a riding community, not an adult platform. Don't post sexually explicit material, gratuitous gore, or shock content.

Nothing involving minors, ever. Rev-N-Ryd is an 18+ platform. Any sexual content involving a minor, and any attempt to contact, groom, solicit, or sexualise a minor, is an absolute line. Accounts we find doing this are removed, and we will report to law enforcement where we are required or believe it necessary to do so.

No intimate images without consent. Don't post or share sexual or intimate images of someone who has not agreed to it, and don't threaten to. This applies whether or not you appear in the image yourself.

Nothing illegal. Don't post, sell, or arrange anything illegal — including drugs, weapons, stolen bikes or parts, or forged documents and plates.

No spam or unsolicited advertising. Repetitive posting, bulk messaging, link-dropping, and pushing your business into Circles and ride chats that didn't ask for it. If you want to promote something to a riding community, ask the Circle owner first.

Post what's yours. Don't post photos, videos, or writing that belong to someone else without permission.

Don't misrepresent safety information. Bad advice about roads, conditions, gear, or maintenance can put a rider in hospital. If you're not sure, say you're not sure.

Reporting, and what happens next

If something breaks these guidelines, report it in the app. You can report a rider, a ride, a Circle, a post, a place, or an event — pick the reasons that apply and add anything we should know in your own words. The rider you report is not shown who reported them.

You can also block a rider. Blocking is mutual: you stop appearing to each other in search, discovery, and friend matching, in both directions.

If someone is in immediate danger, call your local emergency number first. Rev-N-Ryd is not an emergency service and cannot get help to you.

What we might do

Depending on what we find, we may hide or remove content, restrict what an account can do, suspend an account, or remove it entirely. Suspension blocks sign-in and ends active sessions.

What we're not going to pretend

Reports on Rev-N-Ryd are reviewed by people. There is no automated enforcement, no strike counter that tallies up to a ban, and no formal appeals process. We can't promise a response time, we can't promise every report gets reviewed, and we can't promise a report will result in action — sometimes it won't, and sometimes we'll act on something nobody reported. Reporting is how you tell us something's wrong. It isn't a ticket with a guaranteed outcome.

If you think we've got something wrong about your account, tell us through the Contact Us form.

The short version

Be honest about who you are and what the ride is. Don't push anyone to ride harder than they want to. Don't misuse what the app shows you about where people are. And remember that the person on the other end of a group chat is going to be next to you on a road at speed.

Ride well.
