Bikemap allows you to discover 🗻 cycle routes from fellow 🚴 cyclists from all over the world. This means you can also add your own favorite routes to share them with others. Personally impressive to me was seeing the volume of routes they already have in the database (2.8+ million).
Also quite useful are the city maps as each city has their own degree of 'friendliness' and it's always good to know how to get around when you want to explore and 📷 see things but still be on your bike.

Love the idea 🚴 🚴 🚴
The team may want to check how map results are shown for countries in the UK and Ireland. No matter what place I type, the map will show me the same Scottish/English/Welsh/Northern Irish/Irish area.
Great service, love the idea and so good to see it's coming from Austria! It's really a small world, since I think you probably know my sister too (Ursula G.) Good luck and happy to help anytime with advise or intros. PS: Small bug alert, when I choose London, England from the search bar suggestions then the map zooms to Northampton (https://www.bikemap.net/en/regio...). Also, for regions where there are a massive number of maps (like London), it'd be great to have some sort of suggestions available (a top ten list for example).
@maxmadile Hi Max, what a small world :-) nice to have you in. Team is fixing the map issue right now, it should fit to the search string for sure. our ranking algo (s called "route rank") - should suggest quality out of the quantity and will be better every day. ranking parameters are like: text, pictures, votes, how many interactions, route-points, ... within this it will be ranked higher than others. wie migrated lots of big big data the last weeks and some of it has a little bit delay ;-)

Bikemap is fantastic idea and business with a great team ... I know them, and they're rock solid. And now they've got funding. Take a ride with them. :-)

I'm pretty involved with my local cycling community here in Portland, and Bikemap has become one of my go-to apps. Well done!
@jfedor All routes have been uploaded from our community of over 500K enthusiastic cyclists! Plus, we aggregate official bike routes from the OpenCycleMap.

@tobias__seiler awesome thanks. Can I export my Strava routes?
@jfedor Sure, we'll be happy if you do so 😄 Simply export your Strava tracks as GPX files and import them on Bikemap via "New Route" -> "Upload GPX/KML file".
@fdorfbauer Excellent question, thanks! Yep, considering the massive amount of routes, the community is certainly by far the best quality management 😄 We've developed an algorithm we call 'RouteRank', which boosts routes by their popularity and optimizes route planning (we're using the community's GPS data to find the most suitable ways for cyclists). Besides, we've got a content team that curates routes and regions with lots of inspiration and ideas for your next bike trip!
