Not sure today was the ideal day to go out on a research ride to freshen up cycle.travel’s Lon Las Cymru guide, but hey. Amazingly there are some puddles on the Old Coach Road section which are _still_ wet…

🎉 One million routes! The 1,000,000th route was saved on cycle.travel today – this lovely journey along the River Loire. Today also saw May 2026 tick over to be the busiest month on the site yet (4 days still to go!). Fittingly it was on this exact same stretch I snapped this road sign in 2019… 🚴‍♀️🚴🚴‍♂️

In one of those wonderful coincidences, the code to display cycle.travel’s app map yn Gymraeg was finished today just as the Welsh Government announced a project to crowdsource Welsh placenames for OpenStreetMap media.service.gov.wales/news/new-pr…

Looking for somewhere new to ride? Introducing Travel Tiles – a fun new way to challenge yourself to explore new places. As you ride, each hexagon lights up. See them in the cycle.travel route-planner so you can plan routes to places you haven’t been. Available right now in the Android and iOS app.

If you go down to the woods today… you’ll see some woods. A host of improvements to our cycle-focused cartography includes woodlands, path names and (rolling out over the next week) more placenames at small scales, even in rural areas. cycle.travel/map

A little usability improvement for the end of the year: you can now delete and rename your saved journeys right from the cycle.travel map screen, or drag them into folders.
