Cycling Guide now supports getting routes in Saskatoon

We’re excited to announce that our free Cycling Guide mobile app is now available to provide the best available low-stress, cycling-friendly routes in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. 

This milestone follows an extended period of beta testing with people there who like to cycle. We were delighted to work with the great folks at Saskatoon Cycles to make this happen, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! As they put it on their website, “Our mission is to advocate for a city where year-round cycling is actually safe and convenient for people of all ages.” And Cycling Guide helps them deliver on that mission.

Gordon Holtslander is the Chair of Saskatoon Cycles, and has worked closely with us on this project  to make Cycling Guide a success in his city. He has this to say about Cycling Guide in Saskatoon:

Saskatoon Cycles is very excited to have the Cycling Guide launching in Saskatoon. The addition of routes with color coded stress levels is a game changer for folks who want to ride more, but just aren’t sure which route to take. We are expecting to have more riders on the roads and paths because of it!

Sounds good to us!

Get the app now for Android or iPhone. 

Happy cycling!

Announcing Cycling Guide 3.0

A view of an urban map. There are route traces overlaid on the map, each with a label that indicates its distance and duration.

We’ve been busy this past winter working on updates to our Cycling Guide mobile app. We’ve added some improvements, fixed some bugs, and now we’re ready to reveal the results. Cycling Guide 3.0 is now available for Android in the Google Play Store and iPhone in the App Store. This new release has many updates and fixes. Here are a few highlights:

  • We’ve updated the way that we manage Regions in the app. Relatedly, Cycling Guide now provides the best available cycling-friendly routes in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, with more new Regions  to come soon!
  • We’ve added a few more Cycling Tips to help folks who may be new to cycling. And our tips are now managed more effectively, meaning we can update them and add new ones quickly as needed!
  • Explore Rides have been updated. People using the app can now view an Explore Ride directly without having to get a route to its start.
  • We’ve added a few more friendly businesses. And these are now managed more effectively, meaning we can update them and add new ones quickly as needed! And in Waterloo Region, ON, we now show the locations for the City of Kitchener’s Bikecheck for secure cycle storage at special events all summer. We’ll be adding similar valet bike parking for other Regions as well.
  • We’ve added sponsorships for 2026. We think of our sponsors as valued partners, and their financial support helps us keep Cycling Guide free for everyone!
  • We implemented many bug fixes of the recent “off season”! The most notable/annoying might be a bug that prevented people who had just installed the app from getting past the terms and conditions screen. That’s fixed!
  • We’ve updated (and thoroughly tested) the way that we process data for use in our routing, and as a result our routes are improved in all Regions!
  • And we’ve improved search results for addresses and locations, with better and more consistent results in all Regions.

There’s more to come in the next few weeks! Happy cycling, everyone!
