The Bike Hub cycle journey planning and bike shop finding iPhone app is now available in Apple’s app store. The app is free, paid for by the Bike Hub levy scheme
The Bike Hub app finds the quickest or quietest cycle routes; and can locate your nearest bike shops. This is NOT a sports app. It won’t link to your HRM with ANT+; tell you how many donuts you’ve burnt; or Twitter your cycle ride stats.
The cycle routing is done via CycleStreets.net This bicycle journey planning website uses mathematical graph theory algorithms to quickly work out great bike routes. But it’s not just nodes and networks, Bike Hub mapping benefits from local, expert knowledge.
Want a fast route to a railway station? Choose ‘Quickest route’ and you’ll be directed via roads (although not dual carriageways or motorways). Don’t care to mingle with motorised traffic? Choose ‘Quietest route’ and the app will use OpenCycleMap to guide you along back-streets and, where available and sensible, cycle routes. The ‘Balanced route’ provides a good mix between the two extremes of ‘Fastest route’ and ‘Quietest route’. Don’t like hills? The Bike Hub app avoids them as much as possible.
