Hey everyone!
I've just built a new cycling app that creates great road routes with a single click. The goal? Fun, scenic rides — not just the shortest point A to point B.
Here's how it works:
-
Choose your distance (10–300 km) and whether it’s a loop or point-to-point.
-
(Optional) Pick a target elevation gain.
-
(Optional) Add sightseeing stops.
-
(Optional) Include natural springs to refill your bottles.
Hit "Get Route" — and the magic happens. You get a custom route, ready to ride.
It's free for now. If you like it, you can buy me a coffee, send brutally honest feedback, or even help out.
Why it's different from Komoot or Strava
The secret is the algorithm and the data. I've got 10+ years of experience in advanced algorithms, and over the past year I've been collecting, cleaning, and enhancing cycling data.
The result? Routes optimized specifically for road cyclists: less traffic, smoother tarmac, better scenery.
The idea came from two frustrations:
-
Planning routes is a time sink — especially checking traffic, road quality, and sights for a safe, pleasant ride.
-
I love discovering hidden gems while riding. But too often, they're just 100 meters off the path and I miss them. This app helps find them before I do.
If that sounds familiar, you'll probably love it too.
And if you find a critical bug, please report it — you'll be my hero.
The future roadmap:
– Gravel & MTB support
– Direct export to Garmin, Strava, and Komoot (GPX download already available)
– Mobile apps
– Your ideas here — what would you like to see?
