OSM is well aligned with one of the goals of Cycling Guide Foundation: to provide a hyperlocal resource for anyone who would like to find their way on a bicycle, no matter what their experience or confidence level. And as we tune Cycling Guide’s handling of the OSM data, the app is generating fantastic routes that, wherever possible, avoid the need to travel with heavy traffic.
One reason we can improve our routing quickly is that we can update OSM data as new cycling infrastructure opens in the real world or as we discover issues in its data. Here’s how data-related improvements to our routing happen.

Cycling Guide Foundation is the new, not-for-profit home for the Cycling Guide mobile app. And we’re excited about the potential of the app to get more people out of their cars and onto their bikes.
