SafeCycle is a bike route planning tool and navigation app with a primary focus on finding safe and comfortable bike routes for users. Using a combination of comfort-focused preferences and a unique "nogo" feature, SafeCycle can guide cyclists of all ages and abilities, even in regions with poor cycling infrastructure and high levels of motor vehicle traffic. SafeCycle partners with experienced cyclists and advocates to specify nogos in their local regions. Nogos are sections of roadways that our contributors think most cyclists should avoid due to motor vehicle traffic or unsafe conditions. SafeCycle can then completely avoid these nogos when generating routes.
