“Ricky Rides was absolutely awesome! I was planning to make the trip to Bonnaroo alone after having multiple friends bail last minute. I still had room for one more and decided some extra gas money and company along the ride couldn't hurt so I posted on Ricky Rides. About two weeks before leaving I was contacted by a female individual in the Kalamazoo area who was actually the same age as myself and needed a ride. She turned out to be a really cool person and we ended up camping together and hanging for most of the festival. This experience definitely put aside my doubts and even allowed me to meet a new friend. ”- Bonnaroo Music Festival 2014 Carpooler

It was interesting as this man has been hitchhiking for 7 weeks. All in all, an interesting and delightful trip. We got to meet new people, actually got to go to summer camp and we were being green!

“my girlfriends car exploded the night before we left... epic fail, it had to strait to the mechanic with no hope of being fixed. the next morning when we were supposed to be on the road we had our heads in our hands with no way of making it from Ann Arbor Michigan to the place that used to be called Buckeye Lake. 3:35 min drive on the high ways. We tried everything from renting a car to guilt on our friends. We thought that people might be trying to car pool so we looked and found Ricky Rides. Although at that last minute we didn't find a ride on Ricky Rides we were able to keep the hope alive long enough with this site to find another way down. What Ricky Rides did for us was to keep us from giving up because failure was not an option lol. Thanks Ricky rides for being here and now that i found u I'm posting on it early next time. be good friends peace -Casey”- All Good Festival 2013 Carpooler
“Your site worked great, I changed plans at the last minute. I was able to delete my old markers, put my new plans up, and all this without a facebook acct. I actually drove out of my way an hour to pick up someone and bring him to his first festival. We all had a ball for the weekend. Thanks for your site, he said he wouldn't have made it to the festival without this site and finding me. Thanks again, Happy first time user”- All Good Festival 2013 Carpooler

“I was given 3 different ride share sites and rickyrides was the best. The map feature works well and is easy. The communication was between riders and rides was also very easy. Lastly, I couldn't even use one of the other sites because they wanted me to login with my Twitter or Facebook account. Sorry, but I'm not going to let some third party have access to my FB/Twitter info. I know some people just let apps do that without any regard for the consequences, but it's a privacy issue for me and I will never use a site that doesn't allow me to create an independent account. Good job RickyRides! :)”- SYMBIOSIS GATHERING 2012 Pyramid Eclipse Carpooler

“Ricky Rides saved my festival! :) I won tickets to Coachella but had no way to get to the venue as well as no where to camp when I got there (I was flying in from NYC). I happened to check the forums for possible rides and I found a link for Ricky Rides. I contacted a couple going on the second weekend who were looking for help splitting gas and camping costs. It turned out AMAZING! They were awesome people, we all had similar music taste, and we all hung out the entire time I was there. They were even able to accommodate my girlfriend when she decided to join us last minute. I can't image what I would have done without Ricky Rides! Thank you for creating this website!!! :)”- Coachella 2012 (II) Carpooler
