The heart of Loop

A Circle is yourcommunity on Loop.

For your campus, city, workplace, or whatever you're into: a live feed, shared events, and rides with your people.

Built around whatever you already share.

A campus

Rides to lecture, home for the long weekend, and the people who make both better. No .edu address required. If it’s your campus, it’s your Circle.

UW Commuters

A city

Your corner of town: the markets, the games, the gigs, and the rides that leave from your neighbourhood to get there.

Downtown Kitchener

A workplace

Same shift, same parking lot, same drive every day. Turn the commute into the easiest part of the job.

Night shift crew

An interest

Climbers, choirs, record-fair regulars. If you share the obsession, you can share the ride there too.

Sunday trail runners

Open one up. Here's what's in it.

Every Circle has the same four things: a feed, events, member roles, and a cover. This is what that looks like.

    Sarah + 4 others from this Circle are going

Every Circle comes with

  1. 1

    A feed

    Members post rides and plans; everyone else comments and reacts. It reads like a group chat that actually goes somewhere.

  2. 2

    Events

    What’s on around your city shows up right in the Circle, with the people you know marked on it.

  3. 3

    Member roles

    Admins, moderators, and members you’ll recognize by name. Roles are earned (more on that below).

  4. 4

    A cover image

    Every Circle has its own face. Admins set a cover so yours looks like yours.

All four are in the example: the cover up top, the roles on the names, the reactions and comments on the posts, and an event in the feed.

communities that actually work

Good communities are run, not wished for.

Loop gives every Circle real moderation tools, and a ladder of real roles you climb by helping the place run well.

Real moderation

Anyone can report a post. Moderators and admins can pin what matters, mute what doesn't, and remove (or ban) what crosses the line. Not community guidelines on a poster. Actual buttons.

  • Report
  • Pin
  • Mute
  • Remove
  • Ban
Pinned by Jordan · Moderator

Welcome! Read this before your first ride (where we meet, how PINs work, house rules).

A feed people trust stays alive. That's the whole reason these tools exist.

The governance ladder

Helping run the Circle earns Loop Rep, and Rep earns real roles. Five rungs, in the order you climb them:

  1. Member

    Join, post, comment, react.

  2. Contributor

    A Rep milestone. Your Circle starts to know your name.

  3. Trusted

    More Rep, more trust. You’re part of how this place runs.

  4. Moderator

    The real tools: pin, mute, remove. Earned, not appointed at random.

  5. Admin

    Full control of the Circle, and always the final say.

Admins always keep the final say. The ladder shares the work, not the keys.

Showing up is worth something here.

Every ride and every bit of Circle life feeds a rewards layer that's live in the app today: status, streaks, leagues, a yearly recap, and a carbon count you can point at.

Commute streaks

weekly

Ride in a week, keep the streak. Miss one? A freeze covers you. Loop celebrates showing up; it never shames the week you couldn't.

  • W1
  • W2
  • W3
  • W4
  • W5
  • 6now

Week 6: freeze used in week 4, streak still alive.

Commuter Leagues

bronze → diamond

Climb from Bronze to Diamond against a small pool of people at your level. Never a global leaderboard, never you versus the whole country.

  • Bronze
  • Silver
  • Gold
  • Platinum
  • Diamond
  • 3PPriya5 rides
  • 4YYou4 rides
  • 5DDev3 rides

Gold League: a pool of 20, resets weekly

Loop Rep

non-spendable

Status you can only earn: riding, driving, and helping your Circle run. You can't buy it, you can't spend it. It's what the governance ladder runs on.

Circle carbon leaderboards

Every shared ride gets a CO₂ receipt, and every Circle keeps its own tally.

  • 1 · Maya42 kg
  • 2 · You38 kg
  • 3 · Jordan31 kg

And the currency you can spend: Loop Coins

spendable

Rep is who you are here. Coins are the cash-like part: earn about 3% back on every ride and spend it at checkout, where 1 coin is 1¢ off. You earn coins; you can't buy them. Spending them never touches your Rep.

where Circles go

See what's on. Go together.

Circles surface the events around your city, and show you who from your Circles is going, so nobody has to show up alone.
