Challenge

A start-up wanted to build a dedicated social platform for cyclists, combining ride sharing, routes and community features.

General social networks did not serve the community well, and existing fitness apps lacked social depth:

Fragmented ride and route sharing across apps.
Need for real-time ride tracking.
Building engagement and community from launch.
Scalable backend for media-rich content.

The start-up needed an app that felt both social and purpose-built for riders.

Solution

Winklix designed and built the app end to end.

Community features

Feeds, groups, events and messaging tailored to cyclists.

Ride tracking and routes

GPS ride tracking, route discovery and sharing with map visualisation.

Media sharing

Photos and videos from rides with efficient upload and storage.

Scalable backend

GraphQL APIs and cloud infrastructure designed to grow with the community.

Agile delivery — The solution was built in short sprints with working releases and regular stakeholder demos.
Quality built in — Automated testing, code reviews and security checks were part of every release.

Outcome

An engaging, purpose-built social experience for cyclists.
