The official app for MC Cyclery and MC Velo cyclists. Designed for riding, built for Velo.

Find your next ride

Every roll-out in one feed. Saturday classics, Tuesday LapaTainers, Wednesday socials, club events - all in one scrollable list with the next 4–8 weeks of rides at a glance.

See what you're rolling into. Each ride card shows the start time, start location, distance, expected pace, ride leader, and route link. Tap any ride for the full briefing.

Weather, the way you ride it. Hourly forecast specifically sampled across the 6–9 AM riding window — not the all-day average. So the temperature and rain chance you see is what you'll actually feel on the bike.

RSVP in one tap

Going or Not Going so your ride leader sees the roster instantly. Tap once, you're on the list. Open the ride detail and tap any of the avatars to see everyone who's coming.

Changed your mind close to the day? Switch to Not Going and you'll show up tagged "Now not going".

Reminders via push notifications so nothing slips.

Connect with riders

Message any member directly. Tap the chat bubble next to a name in the directory and you're in a 1-1 conversation. No email addresses change hands.

Group channels for the whole club. Public channels for everyone, members-only channels for MC Velo. Coordinate routes, plan coffee stops, settle the sprint.

Tap their Strava. Members who've added their Strava profile are one tap away.

Capture every ride

Galleries appear by themselves. Once a ride finishes, the app auto-creates a gallery. Anyone who RSVP'd Going can drop photos in within minutes.

Kudos and comments. Every gallery and news post takes kudos with a discreet "liked by …" so you can see who appreciated the shot, plus comments to relive the ride.

For ride leaders

Ride leaders can:

  • Cancel a ride when it's not happening. Riders see a red CANCELLED stripe on the tile and get an instant push notification with your reason.
  • Edit the details any time before roll-out (change the start, route, pace, or leader) and updates flow to everyone going.
  • Roll out with the roster you need. See exactly who's coming, and who bailed at a glance.

Beyond Velo

The Australian calendar in one place. Ironman events , The Classics Gran Fondos, Bobbin Head Cycle Classic - all surface in your feed. Tap to register on the official site.

The pro season too. Every Monument, Grand Tour, and Classic — Tour de France, Paris-Roubaix, Giro d'Italia, Tour de France Femmes — appears 10 days before each race so you know what's worth tuning in for.
