Plan your first ride
From a few points on the map to a saved ride, in a couple of minutes.
Updated 18 October 2026
Byker follows the roads between the points you choose, so a good ride takes only a few taps.
Add your points
- Tap the red + and choose Plan a ride.
- Tap the map, or search for a place or UK postcode, to add your start.
- Keep adding points along the roads you want. The route re-plans each time, and shows the distance, approximate riding time and total climb.
Drag a point on the map to move it. Open Points to reorder them, swipe one left to remove it, or Reverse route.
Make it a round trip
In Points, switch on Finish where you started. The finish sits on the start, and any points you add go in before it.
Save it
Tap Save, give it a name, and add a description, photos and tags if you like. Byker suggests a name from the start and finish. Your ride stays private until you publish or share it.
Leave the planner and come back: your route is still there until you save it or tap Clear route.
