Know the feeling? It could be on a blistering hot sunny day in the fields, a snowy epic over the hills, or on a dawn blast around deserted city streets. It’s that perfect road, that perfect moment, and the knowledge that it is the very best place to be. It’s a feeling we’re all searching for as cyclists.
But what if you’re new to riding? Or exploring a new area? Or stuck in a lockdown-loop of riding the same old local roads day after day? That feeling isn’t always so easy to come by.
Route-planning app komoot provides a guiding hand to help uncover those hidden treasures when you’re looking for that spark of inspiration. Its ‘Tour recommendations’ function is now available to users in the UK, bringing together local knowledge, providing inspiration and making it easy to experience those moments yourself.
Locals know best
We all love poring over maps to plan a route from scratch, but sometimes we don’t have the time or the local knowledge to do so. Tour recommendations is a free feature on komoot that streamlines and expands your route-planning with pre-ridden routes that can start from your doorstep.
