Spoke is a live map of cyclists near you. In the Charlotte area right now there are 3 riders active this week.
Open the map to see riders near you -- no account needed to browse. When someone looks like a good match (pace, distance, bike type), send them a ride request. Once they accept, you plan the ride together in a private conversation on Spoke. Meet somewhere public for a first ride; blocking and reporting are built in and free.
