Built by a cyclist who kept looking for a fresh route
BikeRouteNow is my personal hobby project. I built the planner because I wanted a quick way to create a fresh route whenever I felt like riding.

Why BikeRouteNow exists
Many route planners require you to choose intermediate points or find an existing route. BikeRouteNow starts with a simpler question: where do you want to start and how far do you want to ride? It then creates four suggestions for direct comparison.
Open data and transparent limitations
The service combines worldwide location data from Photon and weather data from Open-Meteo with a locally hosted BRouter engine using OpenStreetMap data. Generated routes can differ from current conditions because of changing map data, roadworks or local closures. Always check your route and traffic conditions.
