Everything riders know.
In one open atlas.
A community-built map of the world's best riding — climbs, water, views, bike-friendly stays — free for anyone to use, build on, and improve.
Check your route (GPX) →Cycling knowledge is scattered. The Commons gathers it.
Every app offers different information, and whatever you add stays locked inside that one app.
The Commons puts that knowledge in one open place.
Where good open data already exists, we partner instead of copying it.

Open data about the world, never about you.
Climbs, water points, places to stay: facts about places, never about people, and no tracking. Built on OpenStreetMap under the same open licence, so what riders add here can flow back into it.
The world's riding data
Climbs, water points, scenic views, heritage POIs, bike-friendly stays, road conditions — open under ODbL.
