Why Byker
Made by riders, for the roads we ride
No algorithm decides what a good road is. Riders do. Plan your own, or ride the ones other bikers have tagged, photographed and rated.
Find rides nearby
See rides other riders have published that pass close to you, with photos, tags and star ratings.
Ride together
Organise meetups, group rides and charity runs, or join one near you. Add friends, post to the Feed, join a club, chat about the plan, and see who's nearly at the meet.
Ride it your way
Open a ride in Google Maps, or export GPX for Garmin, TomTom and others. Byker plans; your sat nav navigates.
