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 • 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 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

2.1

September 17, 2026

BumpyRide 2.1 is about battery, and about the map behaving itself. BATTERY • Recording now costs about half what it did. Same ride, same route: roughly 21% of a charge per hour before, about 10% now, and the phone no longer gets warm doing it. • A ride left running with no movement for 15 minutes pauses itself and switches GPS off. Tap Resume to carry on, or turn it off in Settings › Recording. • Fixed a case where force-quitting mid-ride could leave iOS waking the app in the background for days afterwards. MAPS • The Bump Map opens where your riding actually is. One long trip no longer zooms it out so far that nothing draws. • Stop a ride and the map stops following you and shows the whole route. Saved rides open the same way, without the location dot. • The purple "I've been here" layer appears immediately instead of waiting for every past ride to be re-read. SYNC • Fixed a bug that could re-upload your entire ride library — repeatedly, over cellular. Backing up older rides now waits for Wi-Fi by default; rides you just finished still upload straight away. ALSO • Rides you've earned points for show them in the Saved list. • Heart rate from your Apple Watch attaches to the Health workout properly. If you use it, re-authorise under Settings › Apple Health so the trace can attach.
