Description

Ride the City is a bicycle route planner to help you map a safe bike route from point A to point B in 39 cities (listed below). Bike map made easy.

Like other bicycle maps and routing tools, Ride the City finds the shortest distance between two points, with a difference: First, Ride the City avoids roads that aren't meant for bicycling, like highways and busy streets. Second, Ride the City steers bicycles to routes that maximize bike lanes, bike paths, greenways, and other bicycle friendly streets while avoiding steep hills.

The app includes bicycle directions for the following cities:

-ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA
-ATLANTA, GA
-AUSTIN, TX

Customer Reviews

Needs more work (3 stars)
It's quite useful. But needs more work until I can give a more positive rating. The map rendering feels very poor and slow. And I'd love to see the current position update in realtime.

Very Good App (5 stars)
I bike in NYC and know the city well from a cyclists perspective. This app has got the routes right. Good Job!

Love the weather feature! (5 stars)
I love this bicycle app. I've been using Ride the City since 2008. Good work on this latest update--the weather feature is awesome. I always get good routing. Layout is more fun than google. I like how the bike share stations are there for when I visit DC and Toronto.
