About cycos
Nobody should have to ride alone.
Cycos is a map of real group rides, the ones happening near you this week, and the fastest way to start your own.
I built Cycos for a simple reason: I wanted to find people to ride bikes with, on my own schedule. Riding in a group is far safer and a lot more fun than heading out alone, but the groups that exist are scattered across club pages, Facebook groups, and Strava clubs, half of them out of date, and nearly all of them locked to a fixed schedule that may or may not be yours. The rides are out there. They're just almost impossible to find.
So I built a map. Open it, see the group rides near you, and tap to join: pace, distance, meeting point, and who's already going, all in one place. No gatekeeping, no DMs, no guessing whether it still happens. And when nothing lines up with your week, you host your own ride in about two minutes, at the time that works for you, and let people find you.
It's a community product, built one city at a time, with real riders on the ground. I'm building it solo, which keeps it small, honest, and shaped by what riders actually ask for.
From one rider to another.
We also score cities
Alongside the rides, every city gets a Cycos Score, rated 0 to 10 on two fully data-driven dimensions: climate (rideable days a year, from six years of daily weather) and bike infrastructure (km of cycleway near the center, from OpenStreetMap). The score is the average of the two, and every number is computed from a real datapoint that links to its source. See the full methodology.
Scores are starting points, not verdicts. A city scoring 6 with an active group ride every Saturday beats a city scoring 8 where nobody's riding. Trust the people over the numbers.
Listing wrong? We'll fix it.
If you're a club leader, shop owner, or rider and a listing on cycos is inaccurate, out of date, or you'd prefer it removed entirely, email us and we'll update or take it down within 7 days. No questions, no hoops.

Where we are
Cycos is early, and growing one city at a time. New cities go up as real riders verify them, and the ride map fills in as people start hosting.
If your city isn't here yet, or the map near you is empty, you can be the one who starts it: host the first ride, or email me and I'll help get your city going. The faster real riders show up, the faster the map fills in.
