About cycos
Strengthen cycling communities everywhere.
That's the mission.
Cycos is a global cycling community, organized city by city.
Finding a new group to ride with is incredibly challenging. So, I built cycos.cc to help cyclists find their community.
Each listing is curated from public sources (club websites, Strava club pages, Reddit threads, shop staff conversations) and scored on concrete criteria. Each page shows a "last verified" date. We don't scrape behind logins, and we don't pretend a directory of names is the same as knowing the local scene.
How city scoring works
Each city is rated 0–10 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 Cycos Score is the average of the two. Every number is computed from a real datapoint and links to its source — see the full methodology.
Scores are starting points, not verdicts. A city scoring 6 with a founder who lives there often beats a city scoring 8 we haven't visited. Trust the founder's notes 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If you're a club leader, shop owner, or rider and a listing on cycos is inaccurate, out of date, or you'd prefer it removed entirely, email us and we'll update or take it down within 7 days.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 in v0.1, adding cycling communities everywhere. New cities get added as we verify them with real cyclists on the ground.
If you're a cyclist who lives in a city not yet on cycos and you'd like a guide for it, or you'd like to help write one, email us. The faster we hear from real riders, the faster the map fills in.
