BikeHop

BikeHop is a South African app designed for cyclists with a passion for traveling and socializing within the cycling community. The app provides the users with an opportunity to travel more locally—at the lowest cost—all thanks to affiliated brands (Kulula.com and Avios). When users complete races and routes listed on the app, they earn Avios points. Kulula.com also allow customers to convert their Avios points to travel bank credit to use as payment towards flight bookings.

BikeHop connects the cycling community—users can reach out to the other BikeHoppers on the platform and plan trips together. In order to ensure that BikeHop is a safe platform to meet up with fellow Biekhoppers, users can recommend a particular BikeHopper. The more recommendations that a BikeHopper gain, the more likely a BikeHopper is considered trustworthy on the platform.
