Add friends
Find riders you know, send friend requests, and see their friends-only rides.
Updated 18 October 2026
Friends on Byker are mutual: you ask, and they accept.
Find riders
Open Profile → Friends and tap Find riders. Search by name or @username, or look under Riders you may know, who come from events you've been to. You can also tap Add friend on any rider's page.
Requests
Requests waiting for you, and the ones you've sent, are under Requests. Accept or Decline; declining or cancelling a request doesn't tell the other rider.
What friends share
- Rides you've set to Show to my friends.
- Your garage, if you choose Friends for it.
- Your location, when you share it with friends.
- Messages, straight away, without a request.
To remove a friend, open their page and tap Friends, then Remove friend. They aren't told.
