Log your rides and know exactly when service is due
A reminder set from a generic average is only a guess. A reminder built from how far you actually ride is a schedule.
Garagely's ride log asks for one number: the ending odometer, prefilled from your last reading. It works out the distance for you, adds terrain, company and trip details if you want them, and feeds your recent kilometers and hours per day into the due-date estimate on your reminders.
What an unlogged riding pace costs you
- A reminder set from a generic estimate does not know if you ride every day or once a month.
- Without a ride log, checking how close you are to your next service means checking the odometer by hand, every time.
- There is no record of what kind of riding put the miles on the bike: commuting, touring, or a season of track days.
- A due date that assumes average riding can call you in too early, or leave you overdue without warning.
Myth vs reality
The myth
I need to type in how far I actually rode.
Why people believe it
Distance feels like something you would measure and enter yourself, the way you would in a paper logbook.
The reality
Garagely never asks you to type a distance. You enter the ending odometer, and the app works out the distance from the difference with your last reading.
What to do instead
After a ride, log the ending odometer. The distance, and the reminder math behind it, take care of themselves.
Riders like you
Rides to work most days and has no idea how many kilometers that actually adds up to per week.
Logs the ending odometer after each commute, and the reminders start matching an actual daily pace instead of a generic estimate.
Rides in long, irregular bursts and wants a record of where those kilometers went.
Tags each ride with terrain like Touring or Twisties, and ends up with a log of every long weekend.
Wants track sessions kept separate from the daily commute in the bike's history.
Logs track days with the Track terrain tag, so the ride log tells the two kinds of riding apart at a glance.
