VeloVane

Features
Read full description

Cycling weather for your actual bike commute. Velo Vane calculates hyper-local, route-specific conditions for the ride you do every day, not a generic forecast for your postcode. Most tools tell you what the weather did. Velo Vane tells you what it is about to do, while you can still grab a rain jacket. KNOW BEFORE YOU GO Enter your home and work locations once. Every morning, Velo Vane analyses wind direction along your route, estimates how hard you will have to work, and tells you the best windows to ride. WHAT YOU GET Wind impact score for your specific route. Headwind versus tailwind matters more than wind speed alone. Clothing recommendations based on temperature, wind and the climbing on your route. Sweat index so you arrive without needing a shower. Rain and ice risk alerts, so you know before you are caught in it. 5-day commute outlook so you can plan the week. Morning briefing notifications, no need to open the app. BUILT FOR THE CYCLE TO WORK Whether you ride a road bike, a hybrid or a cargo bike, Velo Vane assumes you are doing the same two journeys every day and optimises for that. For bike commuting in Dublin, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Chicago, or anywhere the wind has an opinion.
