cyclebud

Cyclebud is a cycling-focused platform that combines software and optional hardware to assist riders with navigation, maintenance, and community engagement. It centers on a mobile app available for iOS and Android, which logs rides, offers route planning tailored to user preferences, and provides maintenance reminders based on mileage and time intervals. The platform supports data import from various fitness apps, bike computers, and compatible sensors, enabling a unified view of a rider’s activity and bike health.

Beyond navigation and tracking, Cyclebud includes a maintenance management component. Users can schedule routine services, track parts and service history, and receive alerts for upcoming inspections such as brake pad wear, chain maintenance, and tire condition. Optional hardware sensors and a smart mount are offered to collect real-time telemetry, including speed and cadence, which flow into the rider's profile and performance analysis.

Cyclebud also emphasizes social features, allowing riders to share routes, join group rides, and discover local cycling events. The platform notes privacy controls and data ownership policies, with settings to limit who can view ride data or location history.

Since its inception, Cyclebud has aimed to support safer and more efficient cycling by providing actionable information and reducing maintenance overhead for everyday riders. It is commonly compared with other cycling apps and hardware ecosystems for its integrated maintenance reminders and route insights.
