Routecycle

Every ride starts the same way: you know roughly what you want, and you do not want to draw it on a map. Tell RouteCycle the shape of the ride — how far, how hard, road or gravel, loop or one way — and it builds routes around that. Not one route. Several, so you can pick. HOW IT WORKS 1. Drop a start, or ride from where you are. 2. Set the ride: distance, time or effort. Road or gravel. Loop or one way. 3. Get a set of routes. Open them, compare them, take the one you like. Add up to three stops if you want the ride to pass somewhere specific. WHAT YOU GET • Routes built for the bike you are on. Road keeps you on tarmac. Gravel goes looking for the other stuff, and every route shows how much of it is paved, unpaved or cycle lane before you commit. • Points of interest along the way. Sights, drinking water, cafes — toggle what you care about and it plans around them. Rural looks outside the city, urban looks within it. • GPX export to your head unit or any app that takes it. • Save the routes you liked and the places you keep starting from. They stay on your phone, and sync if you connect an account. • Reverse any route, in one tap, if it reads better the other way round. • Metric or imperial, light or dark. CONNECT STRAVA, AND IT GETS PERSONAL RouteCycle can read your Strava history and use it. Two things change: • Your heatmap goes on the map. Roads you have ridden, roads you have not — you can see the gaps you keep riding past. • New routes get pushed toward the roads you have never been on. Same distance, same effort, unfamiliar ground. Your rides also come back with a number attached: how much of that ride was new road for you. RouteCycle can append it to the Strava activity itself, if you want it there. Connecting Strava is optional. The app plans routes without it. PRIVACY Your position is used to plan the ride and is not kept on our servers past the request. We never see your Strava password — the connection goes through Strava's own OAuth, and you can cut it from inside the app whenever you like. Questions: routecycle.com
