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 record-smashing 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. For those conquering a fear of heights, our Relax shots were the perfect companion, offering a soothing blend of chamomile and lemon balm to calm nerves.

The sky-high debut marked the launch of Ryde: at Central Market locations across Texas.

2. Supporting Team Wild Waves’ Record-Breaking Row

When best friends Charlotte Harris and Jessica Oliver set out to conquer the Pacific in the World’s Toughest Row, we knew Ryde: had to be part of their journey. Over 37 grueling days, 1.5 million oar strokes, and countless challenges, the duo crushed records and became the fastest pair to ever cross the Mid-Pacific.

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. That’s why we teamed up with speed-dating events to make sure singles could mingle without anxiety. 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—can be a little too serious. That’s why we leaned into humor this year with a little help from Howie Mandell and friends. From poking fun at workday chaos to celebrating life’s unpredictable moments, we’re big advocates of normalizing just being human.

5. Taking the U.S. by Storm: Launching on Amazon and in Retail

This year marked our official U.S. launch on Amazon and in retail stores. Whether you needed an Energize boost for back-to-back meetings or a Relax shot after a hectic day, Ryde: was there to keep you balanced and thriving. We're now available nationwide on Amazon and in all Central Market locations. You can also find Ryde: in 7-Eleven throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. With over 350 storefronts statewide and rapid growth planned for 2025, we’re bringing wellbeing to more people every day.
