## [Bench, Bicycle Workshop Manager](https://bench.bike) (https://bench.bike)
_Bench_ is the only business venture that I'm comfortable sharing as one of my
"projects". Primarily because it's not only a business venture, but adjacent
to one of my primary pastimes -- cycling. Noticing that bike shops almost
universally lack a good online service booking experience, I suspected that most
shops lacked good software systems for managing work orders. So I started
talking to mechanics and shop owners about how they manage their bike workshops.
Eventually those conversations turned into Bench.
## We Ride (https://weride.social)
_We Ride_ is a local-first "social network" for cyclists to find riding partners and join group rides in their local communities. While "social network" is roughly how I describe it, the end goal is not to have large network effects and claim a large percentage of the world's cyclists. It's a tool that I built for myself.
Since I spend a lot of time traveling, I'm often in new places where I don't know any other riders. So to find new gravel routes, or to safely ride more consequential mountain bike trails, I need to tap into local rider base and knowledge. So what I do is create a _We Ride_ and post about it in the local Strava clubs. Strava clubs tend to not get many posts, even if they're over 1000 members, so when a new post arrives, a lot of people end up seeing it since by default Strava notifies club members of new posts.
If there are no local Strava clubs, a lot of trail systems have a cork board for posting community information. _We Ride_ has a "Print QR Flier" feature that I can use to print fliers for trailhead cork boards.
_We Ride_ also allows you to upload GPX routes and import them from Strava, which is my preference since I like to build ride routes in Strava.
