Great cycling app with some caveats
Oct 30

I really like that it’s easy to see and plan with/around EuroVelo routes and other cyclist centered routes/bike paths. For this, this is the best app. I would like for it to be more user friendly in planning from the phone or iPad for example, using it on the fly on these devices makes it clunkier and not as easily accessible/plannable. As well as (and this is quite annoying) - it should translate languages that are using different alphabets (like Greek, Cyrillic, etc)…it’s really hard not to have the latinized/romanized version for non-native speakers (at least in parallel with the original) and try to decipher where you’re actually going if you find yourself in Balkan countries for example.

Best App for Safe Bike Routes

I’ve tested a lot of bike apps and so far this one generates the best paths that I’d actually feel safe riding for errands or commuting. Most apps focus on the shortest distance or generate routes with extremely dangerous segments or crossings. Its very hard to find apps which have minimal yet intuitive controls to start and finish navigation as well, and this one does a great job. I’m looking forward to using this to explore my area more. Keep up the great work!

Brings a lot of great features together

What was for me several different apps that I had to switch between has become just one with this app. Before I had to use one app to draw a route and figure out things like elevation but I had to use another if I wanted the app to calculate the route for me. Now it’s all together and the best part is I can export a GPX to use with my Beeline or another nav system. Definitely happy I found this.

Used this app on the North American Pacific Coast Bike route and it rocked.

I’ve used this app for years and have enjoyed it but it was really great when I rode the Pacific Coast Bike route and having a good route every day with really dependable and easy to understand turn-by-turn directions was awesome.

cycle.travel has a fresh new look to make it even easier to use, with clearer buttons, new map choice and planning displays, and much more. Plus cartography improvements including arrows on steep hills; access your recent journeys with one press; and bugfixes and little tune-ups.
