Hey everyone! My name’s Trisha, and I’m one of the co-founders at Pointz. Thank you so much for joining us on this ride towards safer, low-stress riding in urban areas. My journey with Pointz started when I met Maggie at college. Shortly after, however, I got run over by an e-scooter that was maneuvering between cars on a busy street, veering right into me. After recovering from a bruised hip, I was motivated to join Maggie in creating a tool that would help riders find safer routes, real-time road conditions, and a trusted riding community. We can’t wait for you to try out Pointz today - feel free to download the app on iOS or Android and share it with anyone you know who rides bikes or scooters! 🚲 🛴

I LOOOVE what Pointz is doing! I use it over Google Maps because it considers the safest way for me to bike. Plus, they've been adding a ton of new features and improvements (like helping me avoid hills!!) after hearing feedback from their users. Keep rocking it Pointz team!

Fantastic work - the app looks amazing! I'd love to see Pointz in Amsterdam, as almost every resident uses a bike to get around!

So psyched for this release! 🎉 Pointz is a game changer for folks who want to explore biking, but find busy city streets intimidating. Car drivers have plenty of map apps to choose from, but those don't tell you about temporary lane closures, tricky weather conditions, confusing intersections – all the things that become very obvious and important when you're navigating roads on a bicycle. Congrats to @maggie_bachenberg and @trisha_ballakur on bringing more bikes to the streets! 🚲 🚲 🚲
