Bike Planner Reads the Wind Along Your Route
A cycling route planner that scores departure times by weather, predicts headwind and tailwind along each segment, and can compare the route in reverse.
Field notes
The planner models a ride as a sequence through space and time rather than applying one weather reading to the starting city. Riders can submit a Strava route or GPX file, while a city-only check returns a departure recommendation; the page also presents an example 78 km route with a four-and-a-half-hour duration. Its directional comparison estimates whether reversing the route would replace 14 km of headwind with tailwind on the way home.
