The cycling app Bike Citizens is based on data from OpenStreetMap (OSM), the "Wikipedia of maps". We invite you to learn more about OSM at wiki.openstreetmap.org and to contribute to the accurate mapping of the cycling infrastructure in your area.

HOW DOES MY SMARTPHONE GET ON MY BIKE?
As a perfect complement to the cycling app we have developed a smartphone mount for cycling with Bike Citizens. FINN fixes any smartphone to any handlebar, whether city bike, mountain bike or road bike: http://getfinn.com

Helps me find safest routes in Columbus

Columbus, Ohio is full of high-speed, high traffic roads, and gravely lacks protected bike lanes (or bike lanes at all on most streets.)

This app at least lets you find the streets with less traffic. Super useful when you’re trying to get someplace that you haven’t been before and want to know the safest route. As a consequence, it can take you on horrifically uneven brick roads at times, but at least you’re less likely to be hit by a car.

Disappointing, buggy, nice try

Downloaded the app and was hoping for a good experience. Managed to avoid the misleading purchase requests and got it working to try before buying. Did one ride, worked great. Tried to use it again, but kept getting GPS position is unknown error. Google Map had no such problem with my GPS position, and since it also does bike routes for free, I’m not seeing the point of this app. I did try to make a big report through the app, but I also got an error. Oops! Seems like my GPS position isn’t recognized when I choose to only share my location when I’m using the app. I love irony, but not from navigation apps.

Works great in NYC

This app felt safer to me than google maps in real time on the road. But I would love to be able to add multiple destinations on my routes & I am disappointed that I can’t automatically set my current position as a starting point. Otherwise I’m very happy with this app in place of a bike computer.

Get more NYC people on here! I want more from the social aspects of this app! It has great potential for biking communities.
