BumpyRide is for cyclists who want to know which streets are
smooth and which aren't — and to flag what they run into along
the way.
During every ride, BumpyRide records vibration through your
phone's motion sensors and pairs each reading with your GPS
location. After the ride, see a colored route map showing exactly
where the road was smooth (green) and where it was rough (yellow
→ red → purple).
Ride enough and your personal Bump Map fills in — a permanent
heat map of every street you've ever ridden. Pick smoother routes
for your commute. Avoid the worst potholes on your favorite loop.
Features:
• Live recording with route, bumpiness, and weather overlay
• Elapsed time, current speed, and average speed while you ride
• Live wind readout — headwind, tailwind, or crosswind relative
to the way you're heading
• Report close calls (vehicle / bike / pedestrian), blocked
lanes, and your own custom event types
• Automatic hard-brake detection, taggable as safety, other, or
a false trigger
• Reporting mode — collapse the map for oversized, no-look
report buttons mid-ride
• Apple Watch app — start, pause, resume, stop, and log close
calls from your wrist; heart rate added to your Health workout
• Personal heat map of every road you've ridden, plus an overlay
of your coverage on the live map
• Achievements and scoring — bonus points for distance,
exploration, smooth roads, and safety reporting, through the
free bumpyride.me companion web app
• Ride editor — trim or split a saved ride
• Auto-pause — a ride left running without movement pauses
itself and switches off GPS
• Share a summary photo of any ride
• Adjustable color thresholds — tune what "rough" means to you
• Pocket mode — filters out pedaling cadence so your cranks
don't register as bumpiness
• Apple Health integration — rides appear in Fitness and credit
your activity rings
• iCloud Drive backup, and server-side restore after a reinstall
or a new phone
• Optional sync with bumpyride.me for storage, scoring, and
community heat maps
Privacy: rides are stored on your phone and, optionally, your
iCloud Drive. Sync to bumpyride.me is opt-in — you sign in
through a secure web window and no password is kept on the
device. Signing up needs no email address: a username works, and
bumpyride.me never sends email. Custom event types you define
stay private to your own account and never appear on community
maps.
