## Description

Life's too short to ride busy roads! cycle.travel is the app that finds you a route on quiet lanes and traffic-free cycleways.

Turn-by-turn directions and offline maps are 100% free - no need to "go premium". Trusted by thousands as a route-planning website, it's now an app for the first time.

Plan a cross-city commute, an afternoon ride, or a two-month touring holiday. cycle.travel finds your route in seconds to select the quietest, most scenic roads. Put your phone on your handlebars and let cycle.travel guide you.

cycle.travel is 100% independent, developed by one cyclist to plan the sort of routes I love. Become a supporter to help development of the app, and get extra maps such as Ordnance Survey, IGN France and OpenCycleMap!
