This year has been a wild ride (pun intended), and we’re excited to share some of the best moments that defined our 2024. From breaking into the U.S. market to supporting recordsmashing adventures and connecting with incredible communities, here’s how Ryde: showed up in a big way this year. 1. Sky-High Debut at the Plano Balloon Festival We officially landed in Texas with a launch as vibrant as our wellbeing shots! At the Plano Balloon Festival, festivalgoers had the chance to try Ryde: while soaking in breathtaking views of the Dallas-Fort Worth skies.

Our shots helped them power through every moment—from Energize for those relentless rowing sessions to Relax for a rare moment of calm on the ocean. The best part -- they brought Ryde: to Kaua’i, delivering our first shots to the island by hand. 3. Helping Calm First-Date Jitters at Speed Dating Dating can be stressful, but we believe a little calm goes a long way.

Our Relax shots became the unsung hero of first dates, giving speed daters the confidence they needed to live in the moment. 4. Laughing at the Small Stuff  Let’s face it—wellbeing can be a little too serious. That’s why we leaned into humor this year with a little help from Howie Mandell an
