Show HN: RouteScout – A bike routing app that lets you love or hate hills

6•enzovt•2h ago
Hi HN, I’m a high school student in Seattle who loves riding hills.

I found that route makers like Google Maps get you from point A to B on a bike, but they don’t give you fun routes. So i made my own

RouteScout lets you: - Control the surfaces (never gravel or dirt with a road bike!) on the route - Indicate your preference for hills (I LOVE or HATE hills gives you different routes) - Prefer routes with bike lanes and cycling paths and roads made for bikes. - Filter types of roads (big roads gone!) - And when looping around it won’t take you back on the same exact road on the way back

*Upcoming feature*: Being able to use your previous activities from Strava to give you the option to favor roads that you’ve never been on (or have been on).

The app is free forever (without selling daya). Try it here: https://routescout.tennisbowling.com

I wrote all of the routing, database, and logic (no AI) So if you end up running into any issues please email me at rs@tennisbowling.com and i’ll fix them asap.
