Fietstoerclub Grupetto Meppel is a close-knit and passionate cycling club with 300 members, where both recreational and performance-oriented riders come together. The club organizes weekly rides, tours, and social events and was looking for a more efficient way to engage members and organize rides. Since the introduction of Cyql within the club, planning and communication have significantly improved.
The switch to Cyql turned out to be a great success. Currently, 200 members of Grupetto Meppel actively use the app. “Everyone checks and plans rides via the app. It’s super handy for sharing new routes and ensures that everyone knows exactly when and where we depart,” Monique explains.
However, Monique still sees room for further expansion of functionalities: “A live tracking option would be a fantastic addition, allowing us to see in real-time where everyone is riding. It would also be useful if news messages could be scheduled and sent as push notifications at the best time.”
With the use of Cyql, Grupetto Meppel continues to build a strong and active club culture. The app helps the club organize rides more efficiently and ensures that members ride together more often.
From WhatsApp to Cyql: more structure and engagement
