Finish and save
- Tap Stop, then Finish.
- Name your ride, and add a description, photos and tags if you like.

Recorded rides hide their exact start and finish from other riders by default, as they often start and end at home. Change it in the save form if you like.
Never use the app while riding. Stop somewhere safe before you touch your phone.
