What's New in SafeCycle Toronto

1.6.0

October 25, 2026

• Safer routes are smarter about crossing major roads. Trips that have to cross a big arterial (like the 401 in Scarborough) no longer send you on long detours. • Navigation keeps going if a reroute fails on a weak connection, instead of ending your ride. • Search now tells you when it's searching, finds nothing, or you're offline. • Your ride share card always hides where you started, for privacy. Very short rides no longer show a route trace. • Better VoiceOver support for ride history and ride stats. • Faster, more reliable network handling and other fixes.

Use This

This is a fantastic tool in any cyclists arsenal to fight off those deadly vehicles.

Nice idea but I wish it recommended more protected bike lanes

I like the idea and it is an app I really wanted to use. But unfortunately the app avoids too many protected bike lanes. Some protected sections of Bloor, College, Adelaide and Richmond are considered stressful and I don’t think they are stressful at all. I understand this is very subjective (I understand you are trying to avoid parking protected lanes) and I may not be your target, but I was really hoping I could use your app because Google Maps is so bad for cycling routes recommendations.

Overall, your app is well made. But I was hoping I could use more our existing cycling infrastructure, even if that was a toggle.
