Bike Streets – Find Your Calm Route. Bike More.

Jane JohnstonAdvocacy, News

Google Maps can get you from point A to point B—but it doesn’t always care how you feel along the way. For cyclists, that often means being routed onto busy, high-stress roads filled with fast traffic, narrow lanes, and uncomfortable conditions. Not always the best result!

What’s better? –Using the Bike Streets app.

Bike Streets isn’t just another navigation app. It’s designed to help you ride on streets that feel safe, calm, and enjoyable, because getting somewhere shouldn’t come at the cost of stress and safety.

🚲Navigate Smarter, Not Harder

Instead of defaulting to the fastest route, Bike Streets prioritizes low-stress streets—roads that are quieter, slower, and more comfortable for everyday riders. Whether you’re commuting, running errands, or just out for a ride, you’ll get turn-by-turn directions that favor peace of mind.

The result? Routes that make biking feel accessible, not intimidating.

🚲Help Map Better Streets

Every time you ride with Bike Streets, you’re contributing to something bigger. The app uses your ride data to identify which streets are truly low stress. The more people ride the same streets, the clearer the picture becomes.

In cities like Boulder, this data helps build a living map of bike-friendly routes—powered not by algorithms alone, but by real riders like you.

🚲Share What You Know

Know a great side street that avoids traffic? A calm neighborhood connector? With Bike Streets, you can flag routes you love and help others discover them too.

Your local knowledge helps shape the network, turning your favorite routes into recognized parts of a growing Low-Stress Network.

🚲Built by Riders, for Riders

At its core, Bike Streets is a crowdsourced movement. It’s about creating a map that reflects how people want to ride—not just the fastest way, but the most comfortable one.

Because biking shouldn’t be reserved for the fearless few. It should be something anyone can enjoy.
