Bike Planner Reads the Wind Along Your Route

windbarometer.com Observed source
Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A cycling route planner that scores departure times by weather, predicts headwind and tailwind along each segment, and can compare the route in reverse.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-14 issue.

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.
