What needs an account
Saving, publishing and sharing rides, recording a ride to keep, joining or organising events, rating and commenting, friends, clubs and chats all need a free account.
When you tap Save on a route you've planned as a guest, Byker asks you to sign in or create an account, then brings you back to the planner with your route as you left it. A recording waits on your phone in the same way.
