WHERE DOES THE MAP MATERIAL COME FROM?
The cycling app Bike Citizens is based on data from OpenStreetMap (OSM), the "Wikipedia of maps". We invite you to learn more about OSM at wiki.openstreetmap.org and to contribute to the accurate mapping of the cycling infrastructure in your area.

HOW DOES MY SMARTPHONE GET ON MY BIKE?
As a perfect complement to the cycling app we have developed a smartphone mount for cycling with Bike Citizens. FINN fixes any smartphone to any handlebar, whether city bike, mountain bike or road bike: http://getfinn.com

Update2 (2023-08-17/8.21.0): Smart Tracking nimmt immer noch nur einen Teil meiner Strecke wahr... The "Smart Tracking" worked like a charm for some years but stopped working properly about a year ago. Since then, my tracks are tracked only partially (e.g. only 900m of 5km). :(Update1: Started using the start/stop widget since then. Apart from me forgetting to use it, it seems to work well. :)

Update: Funktioniert wieder :) Hallo Urs, ja, wir arbeiten gerade wieder daran. Durch laufende Änderungen auch bei den Betriebssystemen verschiedener Hersteller und Android müssen wir wieder nachbessern. Wir sind dran und verstehen, dass dies eine wichtige Funktion ist. Bis dahin bitte auf das Widget ausweichen :) Danke

After the overhaul, my purchase of all maps worldwide was changed to a one year premium membership, whereby I will lose the right to download any map after the membership has expired. Contacting the service team only led to the statement that they think one year premium membership would be a reasonable exchange for my purchase. Unfortunately this makes the once great service almost useless for me and it is sad to experience such a bad customer service.

Good for Berlin, but two issues: 1. There is no closing times. The way through a part of Tiergarten is only open between sunrise and sunset. In Bike Citizens it seems to be always open. 2. On my new phone there is a new english voice. I preferred the relaxed and chilled voice from before. That voice made a difference. I do not want to listen to a drill instructor when cycling. It was one of the reasons I used Bike Citizens rather than open Street Maps. Please make that voice an option again.
