Rides.com is pleased to announce the launch of its Facebook Fan Page, http://www.facebook.com/theridesnetwork. "Rides.com is committed to providing the ultimate experience for Car and Motorcycle fans around the world and we felt it was necessary to offer a page on the popular site" said CEO John Chance. Since the April 2011 launch the Rides.com facebook fanpage has seen atmospheric growth with new members joining daily. With almost 1000 active monthly users in less than 30 days facebook.com/theridesnetwork is quickly becoming the place to discuss your ride.

Rides.com is slated to become the premiere online destination for car and motorcycle fanatics from all walks of life. Using cutting edge technology members of the network will be able to enter their rides into virtual online car shows, join clubs, and participate in forums, blogs, contests, and more. Additionally, members will earn Horsepower reward points by participating in the online community. Horsepower points will be the virtual currency of Rides.com which can be redeemed in a variety of ways from online upgrades, to prizes and tickets to live events. As members earn Horsepower they will also achieve higher ranks and badges which will build status and credibility within the community.

To stay up-to-date with their friends' rides, members can interact via their personal profile' s activity feed, message boards, and chat rooms. With unlimited How-To's and Q & A for any type of ride, the Rides.com network will become the top destination where ride lovers can continue to learn about their favorite pastime. "Mankind has always been involved in social networks, from primitive social groups to today's high-tech social networks, our goal is to provide the ultimate online environment where people can socialize about their passion for rides," said Chance. Rides.com was designed on a customized software platform which allows users to interact with the community as a whole or in a focused group dedicated to a specific type of ride. Furthermore, members will be encouraged to bring their events online through mobile tools that will allow members to upload photos and stream content while at live events around the world.

The network is scheduled to launch early Summer 2011. The Rides.com network is currently being custom developed by ONEsite, the firm known for creating the highly successful social networks for Nascar.com, Speedtv.com, and AmericanIdol.com to name a few.
