90% of cyclists want the Defensive Pedal app

Research on 850 cyclists
Comparison of two streets that are very different in danger: busy three lane avenue and quiet residential street

The three lane avenue with many speeding cars, tramway and complex intersection is much more dangerous than the quiet residential street with low speed limit.
The danger for cyclists varies a lot within the same city.

But there has not been a solution to use the safe streets, not the dangerous ones,
until now...

Defensive Pedal finds you the safest route for all your rides, in 3 steps:

Smartphone with navigation map with risk area for Brasov for cycling

1. Risk mapping

We use over 25 factors, such as lane width, speed limit, surface quality, hazard, signalling, and so on, to determine the risk of each road segment.

2. Risk routing

When you input the destination, our algorithm analyzes all possible routes, to find the one with the lowest cumulative risk from all its road segments added together.

Features for everybody to cycle everywhere

Smartphone with app and world globe

Anywhere

Works in every city in the world because we use data available everywhere in the world. However the quality of available data varies significantly, which can affect the reliability of our routes.

Customized risk

Choose how much to prioritize safety over distance.
We each have different risk tolerances. You can choose how much danger to take in versus how long the route becomes.

App usage on smartphone

Personalized

Select your preferences for riding such as elevation tolerance, interest in scenic routes.
And adapt the routes to the type of bike that you have. And of course it changes depending on whether you have an electric or a non-electric bike.
