Why I'm building RideMentor

Hello, my name is Dmitry, and I've been riding for 15 years. As a new rider, I remember how much digging it took just to find a decent mechanic, let alone instructors, storage, gear, or a used bike worth buying. You can Google all of it, sure, but the answers are scattered across Reddit threads, Facebook groups, Yelp pages, and forum posts from a decade ago. There's plenty of info, it's just never in one spot you can actually sort through.

That's the whole reason for this. Taking out the friction so we can spend more time doing what we love.

So I started one. Mechanics, instructors, storage, detailing, gear shops, all in one directory. Plus a marketplace where used bikes sell rider-to-rider.

A Note On How It Got Started

Every feature here began as something I wanted while riding, not a line in a product spec. If something feels missing, it's probably because I haven't hit that problem myself yet, so tell me.

At the end of the day, I'm building something I want to use myself, and I hope you get something out of it too.
