About

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 • 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 and uses a pairing code — no email, no password on the device. Custom event types you define stay private to your own account and never appear on community maps.

What's New in BumpyRide Map

2.0

August 4, 2026

BumpyRide 2.0 is a big one — a year of riding folded into one release. REPORT WHAT YOU ENCOUNTER • Log Event joins Log Close Call on the ride screen. Report a blocked lane, or define your own event types in Settings — your custom types stay private to your account. • Close calls can be tagged Vehicle, Bike, or Pedestrian; hard brakes as Safety, Other, or False trigger. Edit any of them later from the saved ride. • Reporting mode: press and hold the stats bar mid-ride to collapse the map and blow the report buttons up to full size for no-look tapping. HEART RATE AND WEATHER • Heart rate from your Apple Watch, added to the ride's Apple Health workout — turn on "Open watch app with this app." • Live weather on the recording map: temperature, wind speed, and whether you're fighting a headwind, riding a tailwind, or taking it across. ACHIEVEMENTS • Earn bonus points for standout rides and lifetime milestones — distance, exploration, smooth roads, safety reporting. New Achievements screen, and a banner when you earn one. • Your score now lives behind the trophy on the Saved tab, with lifetime distance and ride time. SEE MORE ON THE MAP • A purple overlay of every cell you've ridden, with an opacity slider. • Heading-up or north-up, recenter buttons, and route coloring that no longer hides isolated rough spots. • Set your preferred map defaults in Settings. EDIT AND SHARE RIDES • A proper full-screen ride editor: trim a ride down or split one ride into two, with a live map preview. • Share your ride summary photo to Messages, Mail, or social — saving to Photos is still one tap. FASTER AND SMOOTHER • Much faster launch, and rides no longer bog the app down as your library grows. • Sync keeps running after you lock the screen or leave the app. • Choose when the screen stays awake, and a higher-contrast interface for riding in direct sun. Plus a long list of fixes: hard-brake detection through tunnels, fewer false brake reports from potholes and GPS glitches, the Apple Health heart-rate bug, and the categorization popup that could get stuck.
