Discover compatible riders nearby

Find Riding Buddy on Home shows a paginated list of nearby riders after location permission. Refresh results and compare name, location, primary motorcycle, online state and same-brand signals.

Build the connection safely

  • Open a rider row to review the public profile fields the server permits.
  • Send a friend request and manage incoming, outgoing, friends and blocked states.
  • Start a direct message only after you become mutual friends.
  • Report an inappropriate account with a reason; RiderHub automatically hides and blocks it.
  • Confirm Block as a separate action; the result list refreshes against the new privacy state.

Privacy comes before every result

  • Profiles can be public, friends-only or private.
  • A restricted profile never invents zero values or exposes the reason for hidden data.
  • Blocked, private or unavailable accounts may share the same safe unavailable state.
  • The list shows only fields the app is allowed to reveal, never precise private location data.
