Cycling Apps
Useful to check out where to cycle and prompt routes and interesting places to the community.
Strava: EN / CN. Check out the heatmaps to find interesting routes, join one of the many online clubs in China and lots of great info.
Redbook: image based posts.
wechat: obviously. Chat, groups, payment.
Xingzhe: CN. Chinese app like Strava. Worth checking out.
Club100: CN. Chinese wechat mini app with lots of routes, riding videos and info. Very convenient.
Komoot: EN. Very easy to use and share route maker. OSM based and used a lot for adventure and off road.
Wildto: CN. Lots of race info.
2bulu: CN. Hike and driving but useful for cycling. Used to have interesting heatmaps and fast off route maps. Worth checking out if adventure touring / cycling.
OSM: EN / CN +. Open Streets Map is used by Strava, Komoot and many others as their base map. Anyone can edit the map so if you see issues, new roads, wrong surface types please update the map. Very helpful. Open the editor, drop in your gpx or just find the place to edit and add or select road or place etc. There is so much development in China that community updating is very helpful. https://www.openstreetmap.org/
Apple maps: EN / CN. new Shanghai cycling maps are a solid improvement.
Gaode / Baidu Maps: CN. Useful to check if a road is really a road, under construction or general route planning. Car based so many small interesting roads missed.
gpsvisualizer.com: EN, great conversion online app.
ridewithgps.com: EN powerful route generator.
alltrails.com: EN good for making routes with cuesheets / waypoints.
